MoonbatterySchool officials at Shawano High School in Wisconsin have censored and punished Brandon Wegner, a 15-year-old, for writing an op-ed article explaining the Biblical view of homosexuality and supporting natural mother-father adoption, according to Liberty Counsel.
After Brandon wrote this article [PDF] he was pulled into hours of meetings with school administrators and staff, without his parents’ knowledge.
Superintendent Todd Carlson told him that the column “went against the bullying policy,” and asked him if he “regretted” writing it. According to Liberty Counsel, when Mr. Wegner stated that he did not regret writing it, and that he stood behind his beliefs, Superintendent Carlson told him that he had “to be one of the most ignorant kids to try to argue with him about this topic,” that “we have the power to suspend you if we want to” and that the column had “personally offended me, so I know you offended other people!”
Brandon’s opinion was a part of an editorial page which presented viewpoints both for and against homosexual adoption, each articulated by a student. After the school newspaper was published in the local town paper, a homosexual in the community complained to the school. School officials then censored Brandon’s article, forcing him and his classmates to pull the page out of the newspaper before distribution at the school.

Shame on this superintendent! This is an obvious violation of the student's free speech. But what is Constitution and Bill of Rights to the socialists that run our public schools? Shame!
A friend just sent me this response to the article posted above: "At least in Antigo they only sold dope. In Shawano, they ARE dopes."
Hahahahahha. I so wish we had a "like" option for comments. AHEM.
Since when does being catholic and discrimination go hand in hand. Sham on you for judging. A loving home is a loving home, period.
It's called charity when "discrimination" is backed by 2000 years of Church teaching and Natural Law...hey, there's a t-shirt slogan!
Sigh. Please pray for Brandon and his family. This has been a really rough few weeks for them, and for our town.
Remind me who is the bully again?
I'd like to buy one of those t-shirts for my husband.
This is so sad! Maybe you'll be inspired by this speech my son gave at his public high school last month. One student swore at him and he was sent to the principal's office. The rest of the class gave him a standing ovation and the girl who was debating him told him that if they were in a real debate she would surely lose. He received an A+ on the speech.
