The article mentions that he already announced that he was gay in the social media. So what is the problem then? Superintendent Haynes says: “We must make decisions that lead in the proper direction for all of our students and for our community,” How is that conflicting with the direction and decision making of the students and the community? I'm sure the straight students will still be straight and that won't affect them. Also, she mentions: “We must not make decisions based on demands by any special interest group.” Ellis wasn't making any demands to have his story included in his yearbook. Well, not before they removed it, anyway. |
Based on that particular article, they removed ALL the stories.
The statement made still holds true if they decided to just get rid of stories permanently and said group pushed for their readmission.
Whether or not all the stories, some of the stories or why they got rid of them isn't actually addressed in the statements quoted, thanks to the assnine buisness lawyer strategy of "Say nothing... even if you are innocent because people will just forget."
If recent scams like "Tips for Toni" and other simalar scams are any indication... It's that people need to be a little less myopic when looking at these things, even when it means giving people who turn out to be horrible the benefit of the doubt for a bit longer.
As people are more then willing to play on this stuff for their own benefit. (Not the kid mind you, but it's possible the yearbook director had an axe to grind and basically lied to the kid."
