The bullying or harassment of gay, lesbian and transgender students in the Oklahoma City School District will not be tolerated, school board members said Monday with a vote amending the district’s policy.
“This is an opportunity for us to get a little bit ahead of the curve, not very far I’ll admit,” board member Phil Horning said. “You cannot live in central Oklahoma and not admit that there is a tendency to discriminate against gay and lesbian individuals. You’d have to have your head in the sand not to admit it … I’ll die before I vote no.”
