You have to wonder why the ACLU is arguing a violation of "equal protection" when the gay couple recieved the same treatment as the hetero couples as far as the list is concerned. It seems that their only REAL argument would be on the field trip that the gay student was excluded from.
Equal protection is not a code for "give them a right nobody else has". It means that they should be treated no differently. If the teacher posted the names of hetero couples and it was ok, then it is likewise ok to do so for gay couples. If it was wrong for the gay couples, then it was wrong for the hetero couples as well. If it was ok for the principle to call the parents of hetero couples, then it was ok to call the parents of gay couples. If it was wrong, then it was wrong for all.
The only reason for the ACLU to treat it otherwise, is to push an agenda for gays that has nothing to do with being treated equally, since the crux of their argument has nothing to do with it also being wrong for hetero couples.

You did not consider "equal protection" in the context of the student body as a whole. Those who did not engage in legal relationships were not under this scrutiny.
To put this another way, the principal is trying to punish for an activity protected by the consitution. A specific activity. It makes for a more interesting story to have gaydom thrown in here, but its beside the point. Throw out the gayness and the argument would remain.
I too can say-I announce this!! So what?
The technology to create such a vast underground area may or may not exist. I do not see the Chinese even as wacked as they can be some times, spending the amount of money that such an endeavor would take.
Why or how could such a vast undertaking be taken and brought to completion secretly?
When any power admits that China has done what this thread says then maybe we can agree it exists. So far-ZIP.
Please find a well known and accepted agency of the news or a major government to confirm just what does or does not exist. No, Uncle Lois' garage news will not cut it. Even if it is on the web.

First off theres all sorts of large underground man made caverns in the world.
In fact in much earlier times ancient chinese built one of the biggest.
By what estimate, and what facts indicate to you such a structure with a 60ft high entrance is not possible?
Second, who are you to say what the chinese can and cannot afford? If farming gold in WoW can be profitable I"m sure they can find the people to do it.
Janes? They are one of the most respected organizations for military reporting in the world.
