FRANKLIN, Mass. (MyFoxBoston.com) -- A dispute over graduation gowns has begun at Franklin High School.

At issue is whether all students should wear the same color robes so others aren't discriminated against.

At the high school's graduation ceremony, it has been a long running tradition for boys to wear blue gowns and for girls to wear white. But that tradition is changing

"There will be a change, I think," said Peter Light, the school's principal. "We have yet to determine what that change looks like."

The call for change started when members of the school's Gay Student Alliance organization became concerned with transgender students and gender equality.

FIR? FIR? How insensitive can you be for all the animals who must give their lives for FIR? Ohhh, the humanity! /s

Who the hell is running the school? The Gay Alliance would not exist if I were on the school board!

Strike out “humanity” and insert “beastliness's.”

We all wore the same color. This is just so stupid.

Point taken. How about we tattoo a Big neon Purple “L” on their forehead? Since purple penguins are now all the rage in academic circles it should pass muster there. We could tell them it stands for “Leadership”.

Maybe the gay guys could wear rainbow colored robes.

Or maybe everyone could just go naked. Would that discriminate against fat students?

Had they actually gotten educated there, this would not be an issue. Since they were indoctrinated, it is.

In my son's high school here in Mexifornia, his teacher posed a discussion question to the class "Should undocumented immigrants be allowed to vote?" The teacher polled each student, asking them to either strongly agree, agree, neutral, disagree, or strongly disagree.

My son was the only one in the class who strongly disagreed and only two disagreed. The rest of the class agreed that they should be allowed to vote.

The best part was when the teacher polled my son, he responded that illegal aliens should not be allowed to vote and he strongly disagreed; of which, the teacher responded, "Let's refer to them as undocumented immigrants." My son's response .... Let's not.

The REAL real question is: Are there enough sane Americans remaining that could make a difference?

Why are adult gays being allowed to groom teens using the school?

This is why the West is failing.

How about blue gowns for the boys,white gowns for the girls,and perhaps a straight jacket for those that STILL can’t figure out what bathroom to use after 18 years of life......

...or would “straight” jackets be offensive?
