I am curious as to how the Board and/or school responded or resolved these complaints if you don't mind sharing.

The Principal called in this group of parents for a meeting with us after three weeks of my son being told that his Mom was an Evil Whore who was going straight to Hell and that he was a Faggot going to the same place. Day after day.
We met with the parents in hopes that we could quell the problem, but their words for us were that we were an abomination and sick and a walking representation of Satan at that school. (public school). One parent even attacked my son at a school rummage sale telling him that he was a worthless piece of shit and a "waste of faggot space on this earth".
The Principal made it clear that further words would result in expulsions and suspensions. So parents went to the school board. The school board decided that a mandatory tolerance workshop for both parents and students was in order (teachers as well), and it did wonders. We found out that there are three other kids who have same sex parents at our school, and now that they all know of each other they have comfort in numbers.
It's been some times now, and the issue in no longer an issue. I have to say that the kids who were being persecuted handled it with great dignity and grace and I dare anyone to say that kids from same sex households aren't healthy and socially responsible little people.
