NightSide - Andover High School Gets Rid Of Prom King And Queen
BOSTON (CBS) - Gender and gender identity has become a major hot button issue across the country. A number of states have passed legislation dealing with who is allowed to use what bathroom, and the federal government recently demanded that schools allow transgender students to use the bathroom that fits with their gender identity. In light of these issues, Andover High School Principal Phil Conrad decided to get rid of the traditional Prom King and Queen, and instead choose a Prom Court. This decision has already generated some major criticism from parents and community members. Do you think it is an acceptable, inclusive solution? Or is it giving in to the PC crowd?
