Who knew high school students were so...easy?

The principal of Irmo (SC) High School has announced his resignation at the end of next academic year because he can't endure a Gay-Straight Alliance student club in the school. And, like the principal of a Florida high school who banned a student from wearing a pro-gay student button while allowing other students to wear clothing bearing Confederate flags ("Davis also testified that he believed rainbows were “sexually suggestive” and would make students unable to study because they’d be picturing gay sex acts in their mind"), it's because he thinks such clubs are a magnet for otherwise straight students to go over to the dark side:

"The formation of this club conflicts with my professional beliefs in that we do not have other clubs at Irmo High school based on sexual orientation, sexual preference, or sexual activity. In fact our sex education curriculum is abstinence based. I feel the formation of a Gay/Straight Alliance Club at Irmo High school implies that students joining the club will have chosen to or will choose to engage in sexual activity with members of the same sex, opposite sex, or members of both sexes."
