A 17-year-old senior at Johnson High School in Gainesville, Georgia, says he is being forced to run as a candidate for prom queen, despite being nominated by several of his peers for prom king.
"They called me there to tell me I couldn't run for prom king 'cause I wasn't legally male and that was the way it was in Hall County [school district]," he said."The only way I was eligible to run for prom was to be put on the prom queen ballot." According to Frier, during the meeting with his principal he was told the directive was given by the superintendent of the school district, Will Schofield.
Schofield added that he wants prom to remain an event where students"fellowship together and celebrate their local school."
Readers: There has been_no_denial by the School Superintendent, as per his written statement. Further, the superintendent_clearly _said it's up_to the kids_to nominate & vote for_their_king. The kid is claiming he was denied. Written evidence says otherwise.
So the school is telling her to run based on her gender. No problem here🤷♀️
Yea, let’s ruin this too. Change it to Winner 1 and Winner 2. And anyone from anywhere has the right to run and win. Any age, any gender, any species, in school, out of school, doesn’t matter. We must appeal to EVERYONE for EVERYTHING! Welcome to 2019.
maybe its time to stop voting for king and queen..
It is exceedingly stupid for his school to deny him this. What does it hurt to let him be nominated for prom king?
Because he's not
he should definitely be able to run for king, i don’t go there but he has my vote
