Chick-Fil-A barred from Ventura high school campus

The principal of a Venture County, California high school has barred a booster club from selling Chick-fil-a sandwiches on campus because of the company's position on gay marriage.

Chick-Fil-A's CEO Dan Cathy has famously taken a stand against marriage equality in the past, saying that America is "inviting God's judgement" by letting gays marry.

CBS Los Angeles reports:

Ventura High School Principal Val Wyatt told the Ventura County Star that the football booster club could not sell Chick-fil-A sandwiches at Wednesday’s back-to-school night because the restaurant’s beliefs could offend some students and their parents.

“With their political stance on gay rights and because the students of Ventura High School and their parents would be at the event, I didn’t want them on campus,” Wyatt told the newspaper.

Every principal has the discretion to invite community groups or businesses onto their campuses.

“We value inclusivity and diversity on our campus and all of our events and activities are going to adhere to our mission,” Ventura Unified School District Superintendent Trudy Tuttle Arriaga said.

While some students didn't agree with Principal Wyatt, many felt it was the right call. Student Graham Wallace said, “There are gay kids that go to our school, and for them it might be kind of weird,” he said.

Although banned from being sold, Chick-Fil-A is still able to donate to the school's booster club.
