The ACLU wants Itawamba County School District officials in Fulton, Mississippi to reverse their decision to forbid a lesbian student from attending prom with her girlfriend and from wearing a tuxedo to the prom. Constance McMillen, a student at Itawamba Agricultural High School, came to the ACLU for help after school officials told her that she could not come to prom with her girlfriend, also a student at IAHS, and that if they arrived separately but slow-danced together they might be thrown out.

In response to a letter demanding that the school allow Constance to attend prom with her girlfriend, the school board issued a statement saying that they were canceling prom for all students.

STATUS: Complaint filed in federal court, asking the court to reinstate the prom for all students at the school and charging Itawamba County School District officials with violating Constance McMillen’s First Amendment right to freedom of expression.

Yep in one fell swoop, they kept all the kids from having a prom and turned what would have been a minor and soon forgotten local gossip item into national news.

I was on a road trip to a bass tournament and heard this on the news as i was driving. They said that there was no problem with the girls going together but one wanted to wear a tux and that was the issue. It would have been fine otherwise. They said, " If your gay be gay, but don't shove it in everybodies face and make a' look at me 'statement disrupting the dance. You must follow school rules until you are 18. Just like no mohawks or something like that. Would have been no issue otherwise. The principle said he would not let the students dictate the rules.

I cant wait for the first time a kid wants to bring his date to the prom that he met at NAMBLA.
BTW, there would have been nothing to stop these girls from going to the prom had they not announced their dates beforhand. It reeks of attention whoring and political grandstanding. (Not to mention a couple of boxes of doubledongs).

First off, equating homosexuality to pedophilia is idiocy and secondly they shouldn't have to hide it because stereotypical rednecks are insecure about it.

This is why threads need an auto-destruct after a certain number of years.

I was ok with it. Just to be clear. I was just stating what I heard on the radio. I could care less, do what makes you happy and screw the rest.

Took me most of the first page to notice the thread date, fuck that is old. LOL. I was thinking what if our prom was cancelled, we have a little bit of money tied up in a dress and a party bus. LOL
