Oakleigh Reed from Mona Shores was denied her crown as homecoming king because the stand she takes of being a transgendered teen. Her story took off all over Facebook when officials discontinued the voting for homecoming festivites. A Facebook page was titled “Oak is My King”. The page had more than 4,500 members from across America, Canada, and even England and Spain. Many of Reed's supporters say that she was stripped of her crown, and are urging students to make t-shirts titled " Oak is my king". Profits from these shirts will go toward Oakleigh's sex change surgery that she plans in the near future.

This article I found had a slightly biased view. The article seemed to be taking Oakliegh's side as well as her supporters. This is agenda setting because even though Oakliegh is a female, she still trying to win homecoming king but was denied due to her gender. Now her and a bunch of angry fans are determind to get that crown and also raise money for her surgery.
