directors last week approved the
move from Fair Oaks, Calii.
“I checked the Dallas airport
and the longest I’ll be in the air
(visiting local chapters) is 2.7
hours,” Lightner said. “Part of
my problem now is that it takes
me a day to travel.”
She said the non-profit
group, which has 70,000 mem
bers, hopes to make the move by
July. It is searching for a com
pany in the Dallas area to donate
office space for the headquar
ters and eight full-time em
ployees.
Lightner said other cities con
sidered were Denver, Kansas

Boy suspended for earring
United Press International
PASADENA — The Pasade
na Independent School District
Board upheld the suspension of
a 15-year-old high school boy
for wearing an earring.
Troy Erickson was sus
pended from Dobie High
School March 14 for refusing to
remove an earring from his left
ear lobe. The school board voted
unanimously Tuesday that the
teenager could not return to
school until he removes the
jewelry.
Bill
Erikson’s stepfather,
Gurley, said he was not sur
prised at the school board’s ac
tion. He said his next step was to
take the matter to court.
Guriy said neither the dress
code nor the handbook of the
school district prohibits boys
from wearing earrings to school
and he feels his stepson’s civil
rights have been violated.
Gurley, an insurance sales
man in the Houston suburb, said
school officials told him they
opposed the boy’s earring be
cause men who wear earrings
are either drug addicts or gay.
“Troy’s civil rights have been
violated and I can’t go form
I’m not going to let it sit stillno«.
We knew exactly what the school
district would decide beforew
got there. The next step willie
in a courtroom and I wijj talte):

if necessary,” Gurley saidTues
