Mississippi School does the right thing: Bans prom due to Lesbian couple attending.

And, just when you thought that gay people (and even straight children related to gay people) had no problems with being treated as 2nd class citizens in this country...here's another story:

Archdiocese defends decision to deny children because of lesbian parents - CNN.com

Archdiocese defends decision to deny children because of lesbian parents

The archdiocese of Denver, Colorado, is defending its decision not to re-enroll two children in a Catholic school in Boulder next year because their parents are lesbians.

and more to the article.

Isn't it charming what religious organizations do to children these days? Maybe it's all for the best...those children have a lesser chance of being diddled by a Catholic priest.

It is a PRIVATE SCHOOL. They have EVERY right to deny enrollment to ANYONE they want, for ANY reason. Get back to us when a Public school does so.

You are right (as I already said earlier on in this thread)...and we have EVERY right to call them assholes for punishing innocent children because they don't like the parents.

Probably not that many students would go anyway. Don't they have like a 60% drop out rate? It's embarrassing that lesbians are among the smartest students. Especially for those "Christians" who are both "moral" and "uneducated".

Close enough.

Miss. Gov. Haley Barbour's office, the Legislature, the state Department of Education and the Dropout Prevention Task Force are working together to implement a new plan to decrease the state's number of high school dropouts.

According to the 2000 census, Mississippi ranks 47th in the rate of high school dropouts and was 50th for American College Test (ACT) scores.

Director of the Office of Dropout Prevention Sheril Smith said the current graduation rate for the state is 61.1 percent.

Shut up til you support your other assertions with facts...

Don't try and cherry pick and slink off

Oh.. btw

The plan is not only meant to reduce the state's dropout rate from its current 26.6 percent but is also meant to help better prepare high school students to move forward into college, Smith said.

Gay people are in the upper echelon of education, creativitiy, and money making. Sorry you don't like to hear that.

This is no surprise considering Mississippi is probably the most backward state in the country.

Do I have to do everything?

US high school graduation rate climbs to 69.2 percent / The Christian Science Monitor - CSMonitor.com

The high school graduation rate for the entire US is only 69.2% and Mississippi is 47th.

States fudging high school dropout rates

The report found that most states exaggerated their graduation rates by ignoring students who dropped out of high school before their senior year. Nationally, states reported an average graduation rate of 83 percent, far higher than independent measures, which estimate that at least 30 percent of public high school students nationwide fail to graduate in four years.

http://www.nytimes.com/2008/03/20/education/20graduation.html

One team of statisticians working at the state education headquarters here recently calculated the official graduation rate at a respectable 87 percent, which Mississippi reported to Washington. But in another office piled with computer printouts, a second team of number crunchers came up with a different rate: a more sobering 63 percent.

--------------------------------------------------

You can't just believe the "first thing you read". You have to do a little research. It's fun. Try it some time. Get more facts than just the slanted "right".

Go away, you motherfucking idiot

YOU stated the DROPOUT rate was 'like 60%'... not the graduation rate.... nice try....

And still waiting for you to give backing to the assertions you made.... please go busy yourself and stop posting until you have some cold hard facts to back it up

I'm a 'conservative christian', and I think it was a stupid move. Why take the fun away from all of the students? What does that accomplish really? Kids today have the gay lifestyle crammed down their throats via the media and television every day anyway, they know what it is and what it's all about. There isn't a television show on today that doesn't have gay characters on it. There's no point in denying them, nor any point in denying the two girls from attending together. I feel bad for the kids, you only get one prom.

Only a dumbass would be more concerned about an error in a claim than the drop out rate. I'm sure there can be a way blame that on gays as well.

Probably because they're ignorant red-neck assholes.
