This is NOT cool.
A girl who was brave enough to come out as gay was asked to leave her school (The Master’s School, a Christian school outside Hartford, CT), DESPITE being a model student. We’re talking sports, extracurriculars, good grades, and on the right track.
Then she told teachers and administrators she was gay and she was promptly “encouraged to withdraw” from school, according to news reports. She isn’t out to bash the school. But what kind of message does it send when a school that promotes honesty tells one of its own to leave for being open about who she is?
We are so tired of things like this happening! She sounds like a wonderful person and student. We can’t understand why people wouldn’t want her to be a part of their institution. Especially because NOTHING changed from who she was before she came out and after. Not one thing. She would still be that same student.
You can help out here, and see if we can’t get some things changed!
