He has the support of his parents and his classmates and teachers and—until the moment he decided to run for homecoming king—he had the support of his high school's administration. But then he got uppity:

Oak, an honor student, campaigned for homecoming king on Facebook—a one-day campaign. "I just said, 'Vote for me for homecoming king.' I don't see why there's any reasons why someone who's different shouldn't be on court. I thought, 'Hey, why not put myself out there? I have just as much qualifications as anyone else in the school."

The campaign took off. "I knew I had a lot of votes because people were telling me in the hallway, 'Hey, I voted for you, I voted for you.'" Oakleigh was overwhelmed by the support of classmates. Then, last Monday, the principal called Oak into her office.

"They told me that they took me off because they had to invalidate all of my votes because I'm enrolled at Mona Shores as a female," Oakleigh said.... The teen's mother says she's angry. "He was voted for homecoming king and, according to the votes, he should have been homecoming king, and it's just sad, and it just breaks my heart that all these people all voted and it was taken away, it was completely taken away from him."

You know what to do—but be nice. It seems that until this little homecoming regicide the staff at Mona Shores High was doing right by Oak. Nice, polite emails are in order. Let's save the flames for the complete assholes. And there's still time for school administrators to do the right thing: Oak hints that he may run for prom king.
