"In response to a gay-straight alliance week designed to fight bullying, some high school students in Chicago wore t-shirts for "straight pride" that included a Bibical passage advocating death for gay people. The Chicago Tribune reports on the controversy at St. Charles North High School, which this week held an Ally Week to combat bullying. Three students wore the straight pride t-shirts on Monday, and some other students complained.
According to the Tribune, “Deans met with the students, and after establishing that there was no threat of physical harm to others, asked the students to cross out a portion of the Biblical passage with permanent marker."
