Nice article, even more so because this is a small Nebraska town.

"Twelve Beatrice Middle School students staged a brief walkout this week to protest what they called the unfair treatment of an openly gay student."

1. That's just awesome! Hats off to those students.

And middle-schoolers! They're WAY more together than I was at that age. I don't know that I would have been able to step forward like that. Back then, my top goal was to be as invisible as possible to AVOID the bullies.

Thanks for posting this great story! :)
