In Louisiana, the American Civil Liberties Union is protesting a public school for punishing a 7-year-old boy for using the word ”gay” to describe his mother. After the boy told a friend that his mother was a lesbian, his teacher scolded him saying that gay was a ”bad word.” The boy was sent to the principalÂ’s office and later forced to repeatedly write the words “I will never use the word `gay’ in school again.” [ Read student’s handwritten report on incident]
