High School Newspaper Controversy

reaction to high school newspaper article

I found this article to be very interesting. In the Shawano High School newspaper, one of the students wrote an article about gays and how they are not fit to raise kids and that homosexuality is a sin punishable by death. An openly gay couple who are raising four children and some are in this school system, saw this article and they were absolutely shocked. Their child brought this article to his parents attention because he had questions about it. What I thought was so shocking was that this was a teenager who was writing this hateful article in his school news paper! This kind of article does not get published in a high school everyday and I was not expecting to find something like this. It just amazes me that young people in this time period are still so against gays and are so open about voicing his or her opinion.
