A high school principal in Waynesville, Ohio would like you to know that it is "indecent" to say that Jesus is not
a homophobe. That's right. Somehow, standing up for Jesus and defending
him against charges that he fears and hates people is "inappropriate."
And this comes to light during Holy Week, no less. How many indignities
does Jesus have to suffer?
It all began when Maverick Couch, a high school student in Waynesville, Ohio, wore a T-shirt that says "Jesus Is Not a Homophobe" to observe the annual National Day of Silence last April, a day sponsored by the Gay, Lesbian and Straight Eduction Network (GLSEN) in which thousands of schools participate to bring attention to bullying in schools.
The school principal at Waynesville High School, Randy Gebhardt,
summoned the young man to his office and ordered him to turn the T-shirt
inside out. Couch did so, but after doing some research that night, he
concluded that he had a First Amendment right to wear the T-shirt. So,
he put it on the next day. He was told by the principal that he'd be
suspended if he didn't take off.
