5th grader not allowed to enter Marriage Equality speech contest, Principal says inappropriate…

And exactly how can a topic which is on the president’s lips, and all congress, and the press, and TV, and radio, and the internet, and is a matter of much legal discussion, and is a legal thing in NY state and city possibly be “inappropriate”? Egad, these are future citizens of teh US, a topic of public import is certainly appropriate. Sue the principle.
