A Transgender High School Student Said He's Being Barred From Running For Prom King
A 17-year-old senior at Johnson High School in Gainesville, Georgia, says he is being forced to run as a candidate for prom queen, despite being nominated by several of his peers for prom king.
"They called me there to tell me I couldn't run for prom king 'cause I wasn't legally male and that was the way it was in Hall County [school district]," he said."The only way I was eligible to run for prom was to be put on the prom queen ballot." According to Frier, during the meeting with his principal he was told the directive was given by the superintendent of the school district, Will Schofield.
Schofield added that he wants prom to remain an event where students"fellowship together and celebrate their local school."
