HOW’S this for an awesome dad?
The father of a gay man who was kicked out of an event at his former school for wearing an “inappropriate” suit has spoken of his decision to “stand for what I believe in”.
Christopher McCormack made a voluntary decision to resign as Director of the Board at Girton Grammar School at the Sacred Heart Cathedral in Bendigo, Victoria, after his son was told to leave a Foundation Day service because he was dressed “innapropriately”.
Angus McCormack, a student at RMIT and who is known for his “bold fashion choices” returned to Bendigo to attend the Service with his father after he was asked to tone it down for the event.
[...]
“My priority is my son and the support that I have for him and in that respect the choice was not difficult. I don’t think that is extraordinary by any means.”
[...]
But Christopher disagrees, believing “Girton is clutching to something that some of their leadership group believe in”.
“[Author and philosopher] Edmund Burke is quoted as saying ‘the only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing.’ I don’t wish to be a father who does nothing. I believe it is my responsibility to stand for what I believe in, just as it appears Girton is clutching to something that some of their leadership group believe in…. it just happens to be vastly different!

It was Plato who said, “He, O men, is the wisest, who like Socrates, knows that his wisdom is in truth worth nothing”
