Outrage after transgender student told he can't run for prom king: "We stand with him 100%"April 6, 2016, BY Meghan Dwyer
http://fox6now.com/2016/04/06/transgender-student-told-he-cant-run-for-prom-king/School administrators at Tremper High School in Kenosha told a transgender high school junior he either had to step down from prom court, or run for prom queen because he wasn't born a male.
Ash Whitaker, who is 16, says he was thrilled to learn he had made prom court, but was disappointed when school officials told him he couldn't run for king.
"They've been really mean about it," he said. "I want it to be easier for trans kids to come out. I don't want them to be afraid of what people will say -- and at this point -- it's how the adults will react."
On Tuesday, April 5th, Tremper High School students came together to support their classmate and urge school administrators to change their minds.
