Is it any different from this kind of thing?

You are either against prejudice and believe everyone should be treated equally or you are in favour of it and believe it OK to discriminate on grounds of sex, race, religion etc etc. Unless you're a bloke and worried one of them might pinch your girlfriend I suppose:sneaky::sneaky:

I feel it's discrimination. While I understand her fighting it so future generations won't be discriminated against, I'd personally back down so the rest of the students aren't punished.

But is it not the case that the school board is deliberately punishing the rest of the school so they will turn against her? They can hardly argue it's to protect them from harm.
