KHS Students Protesting Administrator’s Targeting of Rainbow Clothing

Rainbow ShirtTomorrow at Keene High School, students and teachers will be taking part in an event called “Hold your color” to show solidarity behind students who have been allegedly harassed and threatened for wearing rainbow clothing by school administrator Thomas Burke (is he related to Keene district court judge Edward Burke?). People at school will be wearing rainbow to show support. Here’s a guest blog by KHS student Renee LeBlanc with detail on what is happening:

The Mission of Keene High School is to provide each student with the tools to succeed in a diverse and interdependent world. However, one administrator finds it necessary to restrict diversity in the form of rainbow clothing.

Cheshire Court Denies Freedom of Information in Thomas Ball Case

Self-immolationAs expected, John P.

It matters not that Ball committed suicide in a very public manner. He wanted people to see what he did and ask why, which he answered in a lengthy suicide letter.
