Wyoming Middle School Cancels Anti-Bullying Play With LGBTQ Themes

WHEATLAND, Wyo. — Oliver Baez spent two months rehearsing a scene for a school play in which his character confronts another student about bullying a gay student who takes his own life.  After much preparation, the 12-year-old’s small scene turned into a big problem among school officials in Wheatland, Wyoming.  At the last minute they canceled the anti-bullying play, saying it did not conform to school values and leaving the young cast without a stage.
