.........The girl who was punished did nothing to warrant the punishment.........what a few people thought might happen because of her sexual preference.........

See, thats the whole in your argument. This girl made a choice and is upset because she had to live with the ramifications of that choice. You liberals always think that there should not be any accountability for your choices. Simple, make a choice and be prepared to live with the consiquences. Not so complicated after all is it.

This is from a few posts up. Please point out where she made a choice, it looks to me like she did nothing wrong.

"Ashly said only a few friends knew she was a lesbian. But one day, she said, Gill overheard a student say Ashly was a lesbian. Ashly said she was told by the teacher: "Nobody needs to know that."

That night, the lawsuit said, the teacher called Ashly's mother, Amelia, and said some of the students felt uncomfortable with Ashly being in the locker room.

Ashly's mother asked whether Ashly had ever acted inappropriately, the suit said. The teacher said, "No," and agreed to call if there were any problems. She did not call again, the suit said.

The next day, according to the suit, the teacher told Ashly to report to the principal's office instead of gym class.

Ashly's mother came to school to discuss the schedule change and found out her daughter had been sitting in the principal's office during gym period for a week and a half, the suit said. She was told the principal had decided to bar Ashly from attending gym, the suit alleges. "

The girl made a choice, however misguided you or anyone else think her choice was. The law states that people who make this choice cannot be punished by being discriminated against for making this choice. This case is about determining whether or not she was.
Read the stories---the girl didn't do anything. She was punished for what "might" happen. Do you think being barred from attending gym class is an appropriate consequence for choosing lesbianism? Arguably the law doesn't think so . . .
Further, "you liberals"? What the hell do you mean by that?

The school made a choice to punish a girl who did nothing wrong, and will live with the consequences...and then, through legal precedent, we'll all live with the consequences, a gay legal victory. YOU will be forced to live with the consequences.

It cuts both ways. Not so very complicated, is it? Unwarranted punishment is just life, isn't it?
