Talking about being a homo is disruptive to the learning envoirnment. Just like girls wearing skirts that are too short can be punished for breaking the rules, even though they have 'free speech,' it's perfectly appropriate to punish someone for talking about his sexuality especially because his particular sexuality is controversial and disruptive. The school believes that his conduct was inappropriate to the school enviornment and issued the punishment of reading from the bible: A very appropriate punishment. He should do his assigned reading and shut the fuck up.
