an interesting article
I have to agree with the school. They did the right thing. The girl was wrong.
It is unacceptable to see a guy and girl making out publicly (in a cafeteria or anyplace publicly in the school).
So how is it any more acceptable for two girls to do so? Because she was making a social statement? Bullshit!
Her point is valid. I would suggest another way to show it, though.
I do think the school needs to have a discussion with said English Teacher though. I'm sure he meant well, but.. well.. noncomformist acts can backfire simply because they ARE noncomformist. Here's a good example of how.

I highly doubt that a straight girl would "make out" with another straight girl to prove a point.


Did you READ the article? The girl said flat-out she was making a statement. She yelled "END HOMOPHOBIA NOW!"

Haaser said she was making a statement on behalf of gay and lesbian students because she was bothered by the verbal and physical harassment they face.

Making a statement does not necessarily imply making out, swapping spit, full tongue action. When they say "making a statement", I figured it was mostly the shouting on the tabletop and the simple fact of kissing another girl.
