The principal of a South Carolina public school has announced plans to resign rather than continue his work at Irmo High following a demand to launch a student club to promote homosexuality.

"The formation of this club conflicts with my professional beliefs in that we do not have other clubs at Irmo High school based on sexual orientation, sexual preference, or sexual activity," Principal Eddie Walker, who identifies himself as "Class of 2008-2009," told the school community in a letter.

His letter said he planned to announce his pending departure to students via the intercom today, but school officials told WND that had been delayed as the school dealt with the sudden death of a student.

However, school district spokesman Buddy Price issued a statement confirming Walker's situation.

"I can confirm that the principal of Irmo High School, Mr. Eddie Walker, has communicated to his staff that he has submitted a letter of resignation effective at the end of the 2008-2009 school year. He cites personal principles related to a request to establish a Gay/Straight Alliance Club at the school as the reason for his resignation," wrote Price.

You certainly come across as one of those elitist, mushy moderate, pseudo-intellectual types who every once in a while comes down from his throne to tell us "I see. all this lowbrow knee jerk reaction on FR, blah, blah, blah. Society isn't much different than ever" Get real. Society has always been in some state of change. And rarely is it for the good.

There is nothing funny about this at all. You are nothing but one of those psuedo-intellectual types who occasionally comes down from his high horse to tell us all how funny it is that we are not as liberal and smart as you.

It’s screwing around with my replies; don’t feel bad. I had a nice eloquent one typed out that seems to have vanished. Let’s just accept we have some different views. I’m done posting for the day untilthe server gets un-spazzy.

I can accept that. I thought the site got liberal and I got banned or something.
