Today we are talking to a teen who would not take "no" for an answer. 

 17-year-old Tyler Johnson goes to Tully High School near Syracuse, New York. He had been honored with a profile in the school publication but when he came out as gay and shared about how he had overcome bullying and depression, the principal censored him.  Today we find out how he fought back.

It turns out he was not alone in his censoring.  The school had tried to do that to Kyle Taranto, the School Social Worker/Behavioral Specialist, as well.

Today Tyler and Kyle are our guests.  We will talk to them about their story and the fight for dignity in high schools.

With co-host Brody Levesque
