Keeping them in the Closet in Missouri 

Keeping them in the Closet in Missouri

This, my friends, is why we need the ACLU.

A gay high school student in Kansas was twice sent home from school for wearing gay-pride t-shirts because the school administration feared they might offend other students, though no other students complained of being offended. This in a school whose parking lot is full of cars and halls full of lockers bearing bumper stickers in favor of Missouri's recently passed anti-gay marriage amendment.

"This school allows its students to freely express their views on gay and lesbian rights - but only if they're on the anti-gay side of the issue," said Jolie Justus, a member of the legal panel for the ACLU of Kansas and Western Missouri.
