Student's Comments Lead to Graduation Suspension

KELLOGG –– A student at Kellogg High School isn’t being allowed to participate in his graduation ceremony as a result of comments that were made during a recent assembly.

The assembly was a way for senior students to impart words of wisdom to the underclassmen of KHS – the statement that was made by 18-year-old Travis Lohr was one that raised a few eyebrows.

“Guys are guys and girls are girls,” Lohr said. “There is no in-between.”

After the assembly, Lohr was informed that he wasn’t going to be allowed to walk in KHS’s graduation ceremony this Saturday.

Lohr is insistent that he meant no harm by the statement – and that even though he was aware of the potential controversy that it could create, he wasn’t targeting anybody.

Reports from the school paint a picture that is slightly different from Lohr’s account.

Dump the sheriff and his wife.

The sheriff is female, and the teacher she is married to is female.

Speaking the truth is a crime in today’s America.

A few years back, two local boys filled their pockets with glitter. The pockets had holes, and the glitter was on the school floor. One girl slipped and claimed a back injury. The students weren’t allowed to go to graduation. The vice principle is long gone, and who cares, but his decision will last a lifetime. I would suggest Lohr find a gown from years past, don sunglasses, and show up. Let them drag him out in front of the whole town. The boos will be remembered.

“I was never told that I couldn’t say what I said,” he told the News-Press, “and I didn’t find it to be offensive to anybody – and I didn’t direct it toward any groups specifically.”

Actually, the message was directed at sane people which is probably a minority of the faculty.

"I just think my message was taken the wrong way.”

No, I think it was taken exactly the right way but they can't have the truth blurted out by a student. Plus, he'd probably get wild applause when they handed him his diploma, and they didn't want that.

The kid intentionally put himself in the crosshairs. He should follow thru by showing up at the ceremony and making them do something about it.

18-year-old high school senior Travis Lohr was banned by Kellogg High School in Idaho from graduation for saying during an assembly “guys are guys and girls are girls. There is no in-between.”

This is how his community responded. 👇

My dental hygienist is taking her son out of the local public school and enrolling him in a good catholic school next fall.

This school is not cheap ($15,000 per year) but she's tired of the crap he's currently being taught and the lack of discipline.

**CoVid taught us Graduation ceremonies are highly overrated.**

As is all sports, hollywood productions, and most of the music/musicians.

Why the hell should the sheriff and her teacher wife care? He wasn’t targeting gays and lesbians.

Shoshone County Sheriff Holly Lindsey cited “Safety Concerns. Sheriff Lindsey is “married” to Kellogg HS Art Teacher Rachel Krusemark, one of the 3 teachers offended by Travis Lohr’s statements.

Well, well, isn't that revealing!
