JASPER, Ind. – At least one student at Jasper High School has heard enough from his LGBT classmates.
The unidentified 16-year-old posted “Straight Pride” posters at Jasper High School last week, and the hilarious notices are not going over so well with school officials, the Dubois County Herald reports.
“Celebrate being straight at JHS by not annoying the heck out of everyone about your sexual orientation!” read the flyers, posted in the school’s hallways after classes last Thursday. “It’s easy! Just come to the JHS, then you go about your day without telling everyone about how ‘different’ and ‘special’ you are!”
The straight pride posters were “brought to you by all the students that are sick of hearing about your LGBT pride,” they continued.
“Nobody cares about what you think you are,” the posters read. “If you want equality, stop shoving your ideas down our throats! We have nothing against your sexual orientation. We just don’t care!”
The fliers featured two rainbow flags, along with the message “We are taking back the rainbow.”
Principal Brian Wilson told the news site the posters were tacked up on hallway display areas throughout the school but removed before students returned for class on Friday. School officials identified the student responsible for putting them up, but Wilson refused to say whether the student will be punished for the stunt.
Greater Jasper Superintendent Tracy Lorey promised parents the notices do not represent the attitude of most students and staff at the school.
“It is our intent to provide students opportunities to express themselves in a way that helps them to be understanding of the unique qualities of all individuals,” she said. “The world is full of unique individuals (regardless of) race, ethnicity, religion, or sexual orientation. That’s the world, and it’s our job to prepare students to function within that world and to have respect for others.”
School officials said the straight pride fliers were not approved by school officials, as required.
Normal is the new Punk Rock.
I LOVE this!
You’re not allowed to be proud that you’re normal.
I had sooo much fun at San Francisco State University from 1989 to 1992. The Iraq Kuwait war was underway, and the creepozoids were everywhere. I remember placing home made posters, such as White Men Can’t Jump, and Black Men Can’t Add. I would then sit and watch as the creepozoids became enraged and upset, not able to understand the meaning.
This is brilliant marketing.
The more they suppress the idea, the further it will spread!
The student has more sense than the administrators at this school—and this is INDIANA, for heaven’s sake, not Massachusetts or California.
I love tis because in no way can you say that it is an attack on someone’s sexual orientation...but it is an attack on there methods of normalization of behaver and playing the victim card.
Wow, that’s incredible.
Take back the rainbow!
Love it. Nice to see a 16 year old can take on the libs and do it with humor. There’s hope for us yet!
Needs to be part of a new American attitude. Twenty years ago here, I would say “Get back in your damn closet!” But they didn’t listen...
The state of Indiana ought to be moving to reprimand these degenerate administrators. Indiana voters should be paying close attention to this incident.
Greater Jasper Superintendent Tracy Lorey promised parents the notices do not represent the attitude of most students and staff at the school.
Bet it does.
Hats off to these brave young people... You’re making us proud.
Has Tracy done a poll of all concerned or is she merely clairvoyant?
Yeah it’s pretty hilarious.
It's a real thing.
An encouraging demonstration of common sense; had it up to the limit with adiophora.
