(Buffalo News) When McKinley High School students head to prom next week, they can bring whoever they please – regardless of their gender.
The option is a reversal from just a few days ago when student Byshop Elliott filed a lawsuit against the district alleging that the school’s principal Crystal Boling-Barton discriminated against LGBTQ students, in part by warning them not to bring same-sex dates to prom.
“It’s a good start, but I want to make sure we keep this pace and keep this energy moving forward,” said Elliott in response to the district’s announcement. “I don’t want this to happen again – not just at our school but anywhere.”
