Gay Straight Alliance

In yet another judicial decision upholding the rights of students to form and participate in Gay-Straight Alliances, a federal judge ruled Tuesday night that Okeechobee High School in Florida must allow a GSA the same access it allows other non-curricular clubs.

The ruling also stated that GSAs do not interfere with abstinence-only education and that schools must take into account the well being of non-heterosexual students.

The Associated Press is reporting on the principal of a South Carolina high school who plans to resign because his school district supports the formation of an outreach group for gay students and their friends.

Pennsylvania's Patriot-News is reporting on a remarkable story in Dauphin County.

An openly gay teen has been harassed in his high school to a point where he dropped-out in the middle of his senior year because he couldn't withstand the abuse. This prompted a group of classmates to petition for his return. Three hundred students signed the document.
