Two lesbian students are suing the Anoka-Hennepin school district for discriminating against their sexual orientation. They were elected for Snow Days and they were told that they would not be able to walk up together in a school Snow Days pep fest. School administration say they did this to protect the two girls from getting bullied and they wanted everyone to feel comfortable so they thought if they let them walk up together some people would feel uncomfortable. This is not the first time Anoka-Hennipin school district has discriminated against LGBT students. Their were several suicide of these students and also discrimination against cross-dressing.
I think it's a very courageous decision these two girls made, to try to sue the Anoka-Hennipin school district. I believe the school made the wrong decision by saying they couldn't walk up together because they are clearly not letting these students express their sexual orientation and they are discriminating against these students. Also, the school used the excuse by saying they were trying to protect the girls so they wouldn't get made fun of, but obviously they don't have a problem with their sexual orientation if they are open about it. The only ones that really seem to have a problem with them being openly gay are the administration at Anoka who are saying they won't allow them express their sexuality.
