Lesbian Student Can Sue School, Judge Says

All right! You go, girl. (And she's a local here, so I'm happy for her)

Bravo. The only way the school could justify what it did is if it reported to every single parent whom their child was kissing on campus.

We had a similar situation at my high school, where two friends of mine were dating -- they were an interracial couple, and one of their families were incredibly racist. One of the teachers revealed the relationship to the racist parents and the parents called the school and demanded that teachers keep them apart (as well as me and any of the other friends who had been supportive of them and helped them date behind the parents' back). He should have sued that teacher, too.

eta: Ugh. I just made the mistake of watching that blowhard Bill O'Reilly spurt his bile on this. All he kept shouting was that the school has a right to curtail PDAs while completely ignoring the fact that:
a) This school has no rules about PDAs on its books and
b) Hetero PDAs regularly go unpunished.

That man needs an arsenic frappe.

I think that's a hell of a lot of trouble to go through...

No the school shouldn't have done that. Is it worth sueing over? I haven't read the article, does it talk about her relationship with her mother? I think that's more important.

OddExoticCreature, according to the girl, the day the principal made that call her mother picked her up from school and she started crying. They then didn't speak about it for a week, but once they did her mom was understanding and supportive. A happy ending, but it doesn't change the malicious nature of what that administrator did.

ugh, Orange County....why am I not surprised....(no offense gav)
