    Here's an update on the Transgender student story found here.
    What a bigoted piece of garbage. I really hope the principle gets fired for resorting to threats.

    It looks like he'll be catching plenty of flack and bad publicity for this (which is what he clearly deserves). I've heard of a few cases like this and it's really surprising that they're still trying to be unfair to students like this. *Sigh

    Bah humbug. Who the heck thinks that it is a good idea to threaten a transgender individual in such a way, really.:eek:They really need to stop asserting things like this based on religious beliefs, because I have no doubt that this is religiously motivated. Some people take things way to far, I mean, if you find trans people disgusting or whatever, please do attempt to keep that sad fact to yourself, though I doubt someone so xenophobic would read a website like this. It just frustrates me that someone elected by the public schooling system could be so plain idiotic. If the person being bothered like that is reading this, here is something to cheer you up.
