Mass. student heckled by woman during meeting after saying she has been 'personally attacked in

school’ for being gay

A high school student who was speaking about bullying during a school committee meeting in Franklin, Mass. earlier this week was heckled by a woman in the audience.

Mackenzie Atwood, a senior at Franklin High School, was speaking Tuesday about how all students should be protected regardless of their gender, gender identity, sexuality and race when she was interrupted by a parent.

“This woman stood up and said that this was the type of indoctrination that is being taught in schools,” Atwood told CBS Boston.

A video of the meeting shows the student visibly upset, as a woman can be heard yelling in the background. About 40 minutes into the meeting, the parent interrupts Atwood mid-sentence and yells: “This has to stop. This is indoctrination.”

Ted Cruz and others in the GOP are defending the kind of people who heckled the student.

Gay kids are supposed to remember their place, take their beatings and harassment so as not to lessen the self esteem of people like this woman. Damn schools are preventing good little fascists from being good little fascists. The horror! (rolls eyes)
