NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — The Southern Poverty Law Center sent a letter on Thursday to the Hardin County school system after a student said she was prohibited from publicly supporting gay rights in school.
According to a news release from the civil rights group, Hardin County High School student Isabella Nuzzo and other students were told by an assistant principal that they could not display slogans or symbols supportive of gay rights, including rainbows, because those symbols advertise or promote sex.
The group also said the assistant principal terminated a student organized "Week of Pride" event to show support for gay rights and threatened students with suspension, class failure and disqualification from graduations.
"I and many other students were really upset with the school for shutting down free speech about a topic I feel strongly about," Nuzzo said in the release. "I love my gay friends and life is hard enough without being judged for who you are or for believing in equality."
The schools superintendent did not immediately return a call seeking comment.
The law center said unless the school takes action, the group will file a lawsuit.

(sorry for the rainpornspam, guys, sometimes I just can't help myself)
Rainbow are evil,
stop the rainbow,
Huh, those cartoons I watched as a kid were obviously a lot racier than I thought.
I'd totally respond with "are you banning croses?"
12 And God said, “This is the sign of the covenant I am making between me and you and every living creature with you, a covenant for all generations to come: 13 I have set my rainbow in the clouds, and it will be the sign of the covenant between me and the earth.
Wow, I guess God was lying when he said the rainbow symbolized his promise to Noah.
He's love after all
ETA: forgot a word.

The students should protest the wearing of wedding rings by any adult in the building, as they actually promote and advertise sex.
Honestly, for all the screeching the right does, you'd think we were asking for public-buttsex privileges or something.
