That's what the Georgia Governor is calling an effort by Wilcox County students to hold the county's first integrated prom. (Don't check your calendar, it's 2013...the 21st Century)
While many shake their head in disbelief at the continued existence of a segregated high school prom well into the 21st century, Georgia governor Nathan Deal, in whose state the aforementioned "separate-but-equal proms" are taking place, refuses to express support for an effort to hold Wilcox County's first ever integrated prom.
But not because he wishes to remain impartial.
Quite the contrary: In a statement released to Macon's WMAZ-TV, Deal's spokesman Brian Robinson rejected a request to take a side on the issue, calling it a "silly publicity stunt" organized by "a leftist front group for the state Democratic party."
