Case study $5$: Marc

Marc is a gay $17-$year$-$old student attending a publicly$-$funded Catholic high school. He wishes to go to the prom with a same$-$sex date. The prom is being held at a rental hall off school property.

The school principal and the Catholic School Board have said $$no$$ on the grounds that this would be endorsing conduct contrary to the church$$s teachings. Marc believes that this is a violation of his human rights. He is considering seeking a court injunction because the prom is only weeks away.

Group discussion questions:

$1.$ What ground and social area does Marc$$s application fall under?

$2.$ What competing rights are involved here?
