In a recent article on ABC news, a student at Sequoyah High School in Madisonville, Tennessee said his school principal bullied him for supporting the establishment of a gay-straight alliance at his school. The 17-year-old student, Chris Sigler, claims that he was shoved, bumped in the chest and verbally assaulted after wearing a shirt reading “GSA We Got Your Back.” The Principal, Maurice Moser did not comment on the incident.
