Loons Running the Schools

On the other hand, Sullivan directed us to this report from Ed Brayton.

The ACLU has filed suit against Ponce de Leon High School in Florida on behalf of several students who have been forbidden from any form of expressive support for gay rights - t-shirts, buttons, even a rainbow symbol on a bookbag or a notebook. The school board is taking the bizarre position that any such symbol is evidence that students belong to an "illegal organization" and that all pro-gay speech is inherently disruptive.

Read it. It gets worse.

Where but in Florida, which seems to have become a home for the right-wing crazies?

NOTE: I thought I had seen mention of this story elsewhere yesterday, but I can't find it now. The mind plays tricks.
