Opoku Ware SHS suspends three ‘homosexual’ students

Three students of the Opoku Ware Senior High School in the Ashanti region have been suspended indefinitely for allegedly indulging in homosexuality. The alleged gay students were among those who represented the school in the just ended Vodafone icon inter- schools music challenge. The three boys, were suspended after a disciplinary committee established they were homosexuals, following a ‘caught-in-the-act’ report made against them by their colleagues. But one of the suspended students who spoke to the media on condition of anonymity argued that they were wrongly punished. According to him, the allegations are false and wonders why they are being punished for something they have not done. A teacher in the school who also spoke to Starr News on condition of anonymity described the indefinite suspension of the students as unjust. “I am deeply worried because these are adolescents who have a future and if as teachers or educationists, we are unable to help them to their aspirations and we look at...mere allegations from students and dismiss boys who have a bright future to live and tell some of the impact that some of us have had on them, then I am very worried”. Meanwhile, some classmates of the suspended students have also expressed their disappointment at the action of the school authorities.
