US EditionHigh Schooler’s Diploma Withheld After Coming Out as Gay on Social Media
- A student in her final year at Tennessee Christian Preparatory School in Cleveland is suing the institution for suspending her and refusing to grant her diploma in 2025.
- The lawsuit claims the school took disciplinary measures after Armstrong shared on her social media accounts that she identifies as gay, which the school links to her behavior.
- On the day of her graduation, Armstrong and her relatives organized a modest demonstration opposite the event, while her lawyer is working to secure her ability to complete final exams and to prevent the school from communicating with colleges.
- Armstrong shared how challenging it was to watch from across the street as her classmates, who she had spent the past four years with, were allowed to graduate while she was not, and her mother voiced concerns about the school potentially withholding her diploma.
- The school denies the lawsuit's claims, calling them misleading, but the case may affect how private schools balance religious policies with anti-discrimination protections.
