David Dixon, a teacher who was fired from his Haralson County High School drama position last year after showing a scene from a gay-themed movie to his class, spoke to GA Voice today about a planned protest to be held in support of a Texas student trying to establish a gay/straight alliance at her high school.
Nikki Peet of Corpus Christi first approached Flour Bluff school officials in November with the idea of establishing a GSA, only to be told by officials, including school principal James Crenshaw, that such a club would not be approved, according to media reports.
Dixon, who is straight, said the planned gathering on March 5 at Buchanan Square in Haralson will be a silent statement of support for LGBT students.
