Earlier this month, Wisconsin high school sophomore Brandon Wegner, 15, published an editorial article in his Shawano Community High School student paper arguing gay couples should not be allowed to adopt. The school subsequently removed the article from remaining copies of the publication, allegedly claiming it was a violation of the school's bullying policy.

I can see a few reasons why the school would / should remove this article aside from the "bullying" policy. With all the problems with religion being taught in our schools, this doesn't belong in the school paper.

IMHO it's clear that Brandon has fallen victim to the discrimination taught by religion.
