This should go in the file with other "boneheaded decisions made by people without a functioning brain!" Here's the story...a school in Wyoming posted the banner pictured below:
Now, because there is a logo from the Gay and Lesbian Forum from Colorado, the school board in Wheatland, WY decided it was inappropriate. They offered this quote as the reasoning (and I use that term extremely loosely) for their decision:
One board member, Joe Fabian, spoke with KCWY-13 and defended the vote.
"If someone pays and sponsors a program, typically they're saying I agree with this message ... The gay and lesbian community is promoting gay marriage, the is promoting gay marriage, Wheatland does not promote gay marriage," Fabian said.
The Terminator's take...look at the banner, folks. Where does it say anything about marriage, gay or otherwise? The answer...nowhere. The banner simply advocates NO HATE. It is reprehensible for adults to use their political views to oppose a simple campaign against hate in our schools. Fabian and his school board should be ashamed of themselves.
