The rules of the school PROHIBITED this type of discrimination. They expelled him for being gay, going against their own code of conduct and promise to students.
Nah, he was suspended for posting screenshots of his private emails with the principal on Twitter.
Their code of conduct still states, "All CBHS students should feel safe, secure and accepted regardless of color, race, background, appearance, popularity, athletic ability, intelligence, personality, sexual orientation, religion or nationality.
If the school supports homosexuality, then they shouldn't have had an issue with him bringing a date. This is why it's important to be truthful and stand by what you believe in. If you don't think homosexuality is okay, then say that. Be honest. I actually hope the student wins if everything in the article is true.
the dramatics
when I say that victim complex is....
you know what nvm
What victim complex? His request was innocuous and fell in line with the school's code of conduct.
A (relatively) high-profile law suit seems like the only way to shock the school into not only following its own code of conduct but also certain federal laws against sexual discrimination, seeing as the school receives funding from state and federal sources.
Parochial schools sort of reserve the right to "discriminate" so to speak in these type of cases. They're usually able to easily justify that it's their beliefs that homosexuality isn't encouraged, but since their code of conduct states thats there isn't any discrimination based on sexual orientation, he may actually have a case.

It doesn't seem like he was expelled, but rather left the school of his own volition due to feeling unwelcome.
