U.S. school cancels prom because of lesbians

US school district won't host prom dance after lesbian student's request to bring girlfriend

http://ca.news.yahoo.com/s/capress/100310/world/us_lesbian_prom_date

JACKSON, Miss. - A school in Mississippi has called off the annual senior dance after a lesbian student demanded she be allowed to bring her girlfriend.

The American Civil Liberties Union had demanded that the Itawamba County school district allow 18-year-old Constance McMillen to attend the prom with her date. A school board statement Wednesday announced the district wouldn't host the April 2 prom at Itawamba County Agricultural High School.

McMillen wanted to escort her girlfriend, who is also a student. McMillen also was denied permission to wear a tuxedo.

A school district policy requires that dates be of the opposite sex.

The district's statement never mentioned McMillen's request. But officials said the change was made due to recent distractions. District officials say they hope private citizens will host a prom.

People who can't distinguish between etymology and entomology bug me in ways I cannot put into words.

Wouldn't it be great to be 18 in America?
You are old enough to go and die in some conflict in Iraq, or Afghanistan, but not old enough to know your own sexuality.

At least they will all have a good time if they take up the offer to be bused to New Orleans for a swanky do offered by a local hotelier, as an alternative, because of the schools cancelling their dance.

OOPS!!! My Karma, ran over your Dogma!

It will be too late for this year's prom. But next year the lesbians and transvestites will all attend the prom.

I remember my formal was organised by the students and although it was pretty boring and a waste of money, we were allowed to manage it however we wanted, without interference.

Surely, if it's stupid decisions you want to discuss, we have enough local ones to choose from.
