The Delaware State Human Relations Commission has asked for a meeting with the Superintendent of the Cape Henlopen School District over issues related to the LGBT community.

The Salisbury Daily Times reports that minutes from an August 14th meeting of the commission said it is looking into a number of issues.

These include a teacher disparaging gays in a Human Development class at Cape Henlopen High School and the decision to deny the Gay-Straight Alliance Club from wearing rainbow colored stoles at graduation.

The commission is responding to an article in the June edition of the Washington Blade where the allegations first surfaced.
