As a former high school teacher within the Beaverton School System, I am not surprised to hear this unfortunate news. Sadly, this is not the first time the district has condoned a discriminatory decision around gay rights. Refer back to 2005, when the Laramie Project production was cancelled due to what then Principal, Amy Gordon, referred to as "controversial." I feel for Seth and want to encourage him to continue his teaching endeavors elsewhere. I can personally assure you that you will be an asset in a school district that truly values individuals.
