Recently, Erick Warner started a petition on change.org.  This site allows users to create their own petitions in hopes of a change.  Hence the website name, change.org.  The Celina High School petition can be found here and if you support homosexuals or are against discrimination, we advise you to sign.  The goal is to obtain at least 100 signatures and as of 10/31/2012 10:00 p.m. there are 22 signatures.  After more people are aware of the situation, more citizens will sign and the number of signatures will skyrocket. 

However, even though there have been many Celina students signing, there have also been outside signers.  Jacob Walla, of Houston, TX states "The purpose of a school is to foster education and social development in a protected environment, free from judgment or prejudice. To deny these students their rights based on a *personal* prejudice is the height of arrogance and foolishness. It is unprofessional and disgraceful. The administration needs to be mature enough to set aside personal prejudices in favor of equality and professionalism." Walla makes an agreeable assessment of the situation and we thank him for his input.

Just three days after Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan held an energetic rally in Celina, Ohio, the seat of one of the most firmly Republican counties in the state, the high school there is at the center of a debate over what constitutes "political" or "disruptive" clothing.

The debate at Celina High School started after two female high school students celebrated the high school's "Twin Day" last week by wearing shirts to school that read "Lesbian 1" and "Lesbian 2" on the back. They were promptly asked to remove the T-shirts, according to students there.

On Tuesday, some 20 students decided to show their support of the girls by wearing their own T-shirts to school. The shirts read: "I support..." with a photo of a rainbow. "Express yourself."...
