    Wooooooow. That's soo screwed up...Similar things were done in other states before they passed similar laws as well. I hope that newspaper hurts financially because of this, because that is just sick. I can't believe some people are still so judmental and hurtful...

    This is shocking that it happened in a progressive state like Minnesota especially in Minneapolis.

    I guess feeding off of endless ignorance is the best way to make ads nowadays.

    While in Massachusetts that wouldn't happen in regards to students rights.

    Teachers rights though....

    Ugh... This hits too close to home.

    This reminds me of high school when I had to run to the bathroom down the hall to change for gym so I wouldn't 'make anyone uncomfortable' or 'act inappropriately' in the girls locker room.

    What pure and utter nonsense. Hopefully, the school and parents will have more sense than to pay attention to this libel.

    People still read newspapers? Honestly, I doubt the paper will lose much revenue since older people are the ones who read the news in the first place.

    Still, this is pretty ridiculous.
