"A student-produced newspaper at the Academy for Arts, Science & Technology [in Myrtle Beach] was banned from being distributed last month after students failed to clear an editorial advocating same-sex marriage with the school administration. The principal of the academy near Carolina Forest, Ronnie Burgess, said that he was concerned that the editorial, which was printed on the front page with a picture of two male students holding hands, would be disruptive to the school. 'I had some concerns about the content of the article and how it might impact students here and what the community concerns might be when the article was distributed,' Burgess said. 'At the academy we encourage diversity, we don't look to silence student voices, we hope to facilitate their expression.'" [Myrtle Beach Sun News]
Who would have guess that holding hands would so be so disruptive? I thought that a known serial rapist on campus would be more disruptive, or finding out that a unknown student planning the Next VA Tech, would be a disruptive. Hell, having President Bush to show up on Campus would do the same damn thing. But Holding hands, Kissing ,please give me a damn break. Can't these Asshole Administrators come up with something better.
