Instead of prom king and queen, H.S. crowns 2 'royal knights'

, prompting a backlash, officials at his Georgia high school decided to make the prom court categories gender-neutral — leaving an opening for the student to still be crowned school royalty.

“Not only are we confused at this decision, but we are severely disappointed in the Hall County School Board,” the petition stated. “The two core beliefs of Hall County Schools are outlined on their webpage: ‘The Most Caring Place On Earth’ and ‘Character, Competency, and Rigor…For All.’” Frier said a compromise was reached with his high school after he and his grandfather met with school officials late last week. Instead of listing “prom king” and “prom queen” titles, winners would be named “Royal Knights” in honor of the school’s mascot.

NBCOUT Does that make them the royal it or they?

NBCOUT So, what is it? Is the teen a male or female; how would the parents allow a teen to describe itself? Parents fault for this tragedy, for the teen will want to be normal one day. Sad

NBCOUT Insanity

NBCOUT

NBCOUT Fake victimhood!

NBCOUT Local story, broadcasted by major news network, hoping to attract comments from rational thinkers, as to construe as hate. Wash, rinse, repeat.

NBCOUT Oh please, world doesn't revolve around HIM..stop catering to the mental madness..not fair to the majority of students

NBCOUT

NBCOUT Let’s just take the word gender out of the dictionary while we’re at it!.

NBCOUT These handful of SCIENCE DENIERS are bullying to get their way. And we all should hate bullies.....right?

NBCOUT Sick.

NBCOUT Knights aren't royalty.

NBCOUT That’s stupid as hell, she’s a girl🙄

NBCOUT How stupid it’s like everyone gets a trophy whither you work hard and win or not. Lol

NBCOUT Omg!!!! Was that really news worthy? He bullied the school into letting him be on the prom court! Ridiculous

NBCOUT Very simple. Please follow this as best as you can.... ready... 1....2...3.... Penis = Males Vagina = Females Any questions?

NBCOUT Don't worry about...let the bullies handle that problem...lol

NBCOUT “A transgender teen was told HE cannot run for prom” if you’re using “he” then the kid is a male and no need for the word transgender. If “transgender” is being used as an adjective for male, then it’s wrong because male is male. No adjective needed. Meaning the kid is female 😜

NBCOUT Great another ruined because of confused people and parents who don't know how to be parents. Hey dads grow some balls.

NBCOUT No way this could backfire. Everyone gets a crown!

NBCOUT Is a she...

NBCOUT Awesomeness!!

NBCOUT You really feel strong about men getting vaginas, don't you?

NBCOUT This is still not trans-friendly. Identifying him properly and letting him run for king is correct.

NBCOUT

NBCOUT Lord Have Mercy

NBCOUT The future is going to be terrible.
