Breaking with the tradition at many of the nation�s schools,
students at Bethesda-Chevy Chase High School will adopt a gender-
neutral homecoming court this year, moving away from the
longtime practice of electing a boy as �king� and a girl as
�queen.�
Students in each grade will vote for two classmates from a
ballot of finalists, with the top vote-getters crowned at the
school�s homecoming football game. It�s a change that means
those honored at halftime on Oct. 7 could include two boys, two
girls, transgender students or a boy-girl duo.
�It provides an opportunity for all students to be involved in
something that was exclusionary,� said Jacob Rains, president of
the schoolwide Student Government Association. �It is really not
our job, especially with a gender-neutral and transgender
population at B-CC, to tell people that boys have to be kings
and girls have to be queens. Who are we to put people into those
categories?�
Obviously these people didn't learn a thing in school during
biology class.
