A student who is a biological female but identifies as a male was named prom king at the senior prom of Barnstable High School.
The student was known to classmates as Nicole until announcing via Instagram last summer that henceforward the first name would be Nicholas, according to The Cape Cod Times.
Massachusetts public college students who threatened a sit-in at the Massachusetts House Speaker's office earlier this week are expressing outrage that they were threatened with being arrested if they did.
The students, members of Public Higher Education Network of Massachusetts, which calls itself "PHENOM" for short, were demanding free college from state legislators. Frustrated with the lack of acquiescence to their demands, the students later said they were surprised by the reaction when they announced they planned to occupy a portion of the office of Robert DeLeo, the Speaker of the Massachusetts House of Representatives.
