Bullying of gay teens at high schools across the country is a serious
problem. But what do you do when the biggest anti-gay bully at the
school is the principal?
Dorothy Bond, head of Haywood High School in Brownsville, Tennessee,
has stirred controversy in her community for allegedly telling gay
students at the school they are going to hell.
According to multiple students who were in attendance at a school
assembly on February 9th, the principal threatened students displaying
same-sex affection in public with a 60-day suspensions or even expulsion.
This is not the first time Bond has been accused of making derogatory
remarks aimed at gay students. She also reportedly threatened to
discipline students who did not bow their heads in prayer, and told
pregnant students their “life is over.”
The district has yet to comment on whether Bond would reprimanded for her alleged comments.
