Magola Franco Pérez, principal of Leonardo da Vinci High School in Colombia allowed 700 students to jeer in unison, "We Don't Want You" at a lesbian student couple being allowed to register for classes under a court order. According to a blog by Andres Duque, "She had threatened to resign if the two young women were ever allowed to return to school," but she did not. She is now trying to stop the girls from attending by saying they signed incorrect registration forms.

The principles resignation should be accepted. Or better yet she should be sacked.
There is freedom of speech and then conduct liable to incite a breach of the peace.
Allowing this disgraceful show of homophobia could be construed as aiding and abetting any crime that befalls this couple. Her attitude is fomenting an unsafe environment for the pupils to work in and may be grounds for a suit against the school board (Don't know local law - but this behaviour and attitude would be regarded as serious in the UK).-
