There's ABC reporters and stuff outside... :/
And they're interviewing people... This is ridiculous, they're interviewing Year 9's who don't even know the situation. As if the school hasn't even told anyone to not say anything..

I love the comments on news stories on theage.com.au

case in point

Perhaps we need schools for lesbians just like we have schools for different religions?

I would not treat someone differently because of their sexual needs, but i dont want to know about it or see it in my face.

Please tell me they were trolling

I love it when schools get fucked over like this.

They are run by control freak tools, 90% of whom didn't have what it takes to further their career, and instead decide to take out their frustrations on others and make them miserable.

Hope they get their asses sued off.

I went to school not far from IGGS, and I could imagine them trying to pull the exact same shit.

Whether or not people like it, they're going to have to accept that homosexuals do exist, and they have the same rights as everyone else.

I'm pretty sure the case was dismissed.

Even still it's incredibly embarrassing for the school and I hope Schangl has fun cleaning up her failed PR messes.

Haha I hope that they were trolling also.

my school was in the papers for this same thing a few years ago but got away with it because of their 'religious values', good old religion, the promoter of inequality.
mates with hannah though and pretty proud of her for this, iggs would be so pissed.

Sucks for us who still go to school T_T Suuch bad press..
Honestly, I think this whole thing is ridiculous. I don't understand why it's being brought up now, when the formal was months ago, and the girls aren't even going out.....
What the hell are they trying to do?

That being said, I completely disagree with them not being allowed to go the formal together, I just don't see why it's suddenly big news now, when it wasn't, back then (I'm pretty sure they were going to get some news people to come in and do their story)

I went to Japan with Hannah...school trip yay.

Yeah I remember the groups popping up on Facebook not too long ago.
I don't know why now but I DO know the girl who wrote that article, she graduated with my degree a couple of years ago.

Better late than never, though.

since im a lesbian, i side with the girl automatically.
aha.

however, i dont think religious based schools should be allowed to discriminate based on religious values of others as well as sexuality.

but they have money and will buy their way out of it once again.

is the school that religious? I got the impression that it was more of a non-progressive, socially conservative decision rather than "homosexuality is evil".

My school didn't allow us to take same sex partners but our head of year said that if we really wanted to, we should discuss it with him. I think that's a better response than trying to justify it by claiming she's too young or the wrong year level.
