South Carolina High School Principal to Resign Over Formation of Gay Club

Irmo High School principal Eddie Walker says he will quit a year from now, citing a conflict between his religious beliefs and the potential formation of a club for gay awareness.

He added that the school teaches abstinence and a gay-straight club implies students joining the club would “engage in sexual activity with members of the same sex, opposite sex, or members of both sexes.”

Ten years ago this month, then-principal Gerald Witt refused to let the Indigo Girls — two openly gay singers — perform a free concert on campus that was the prize in a student-journalism competition. Witt faced pressure from parents and community leaders to cancel the concert.
