A male high school student from Alice, Tex., says he was booted from the cheerleading squad and suspended from school for kissing a male student on campus.
The young man, who has not been identified, says the kiss was captured by a surveillance camera, which leads him to believe that school official were targeting him because of his sexual orientation.
"They never check cameras for anything unless something is stolen," he told local news channel KRIS 6. "We would be the ones getting caught because I'm sure we were the only ones, sexual orientation-wise, being caught like that."
While the school’s superintendent declined to comment on the incident, the student’s parents say if their son isn’t reinstated to the cheerleading squad, they will take further action.
