ISSUES: Lesbian Couple Threatened to Stay Away from the Royal Court!

Champlin Park High School (CPHS) and the Anoka-Hennepin School District in Minnesota are being sued by the Southern Poverty Law Center, the National Center for Lesbian Rights and Faegre & Benson law firm because of their refusal to allow a lesbian couple - Desiree (Daz) Shelton and Sarah Lindstrom - to be on the "royal court" at the school's Snow Days dance.

“We are disappointed that the school and school district will not simply grant these two students the same rights as every other student, as they are due under both state and federal law,” said Sam Wolfe, lead attorney for the Southern Poverty Law Center. “It is an absolute shame that the school and school district have tarnished what should be a joyous celebration through these discriminatory actions.”
