... Um. ExCUSE me?

[kyrielle]

A boy was punished for using the word "gay" and explaining that it meant "when a girl likes another girl" to one of his classmates...while discussing the fact that he has two mothers instead of a mother and a father. He was told it was a bad word, sent to a "behavioral clinic", and made to write repeatedly that he would not use the word in school again.

ACLU article.

Actually, they pretty much say it all. That's ridiculous. And wrong.
