Rally backs students forming gay-straight club

S.C. Equality plans to hold a rally today in support of students forming a gay-straight alliance at Irmo High School.

The event will be at 6:30 p.m. at Dutch Fork Elementary School, 7900 Broad River Road.

The Lexington-Richland 5 school board will hold its regularly scheduled meeting at 7 p.m. at the school. The agenda includes discussion of new policies for school clubs.

The proposal came after principal Eddie Walker said he would resign because a gay-straight club was being allowed on campus.
