Or maybe, religious groups should not be dictating what public schools do....just a thought.
This was a smart move by the Mississippi School District in banning the High School Prom due to a immoral lesbian couple wanting to attend that would taint the event. Here in the south we want southern family MORAL traditions maintained that will carry on in this christian faith based family conservative values region. It is best to mainstain the status quo of boy girl dates. Louisiana did this last year at a prom and banned the same sex couple by sticking to their moral convictions in doing the right thing. This same sex behavior should recieve zero tolerance at all school events.
Living | Miss. school prom off after lesbian's date request | Seattle Times Newspaper
JACKSON, Miss.
A northern Mississippi school district decided Wednesday not to host a high school prom after a lesbian student demanded she be able to attend with her girlfriend and wear a tuxedo.
The Itawamba County school district's policy requires that senior prom dates be of the opposite sex. The American Civil Liberties Union of Mississippi had given the district until Wednesday to change that policy and allow 18-year-old Constance McMillen to escort her girlfriend, who is also a student, to the dance on April 2.
Instead, the school board met and issued a statement announcing it wouldn't host the event at Itawamba County Agricultural High School in Fulton, "due to the distractions to the educational process caused by recent events."
The statement didn't mention McMillen or the ACLU. When asked by The Associated Press if McMillen's demand led to the cancellation, school board attorney Michele Floyd said she could only reference the statement.
"It is our hope that private citizens will organize an event for the juniors and seniors," district officials said in the statement. "However, at this time, we feel that it is in the best interest of the Itawamba County School District, after taking into consideration the education, safety and well being of our students."
So, you're saying they're similar in not having a choice? As I said, last time I looked being black did not go against perceived societal morals, so it's not the same at all. And God has nothing to do with it, other than He made every one of us with our differences. It's up to each individual to live their lives as they choose. It's why you have free will, and as I believe, only you will have to answer for your actions, not anyone else.
You see, that's where we're different. I have no mystical or supernatural beliefs. I don't believe in "ghosts", neither friendly or otherwise. Nothing occult. To me, it's all about as real as "Marvel Comics". But if other people want to believe that stuff, more power to them. Just don't attempt to cram that silliness down MY throat.
You're welcome to your beliefs or non beliefs, but others have different views, and it's not up to you to be judgmental about them, or you are no better than you're saying they are for being judgmental of gays. It's called hypocrisy. I was simply stating my POV as a Christian that I don't think it accomplishes anything to deny the kids their prom because of two girls who want to go together as a couple. I would have not taken that action, and I think the Christian community needs to be more vocal whenever this type of thing happens. I don't think we should be judging other people's behavior, unless of course they're hurting or violating the rights of others. Every person will have to answer for their behavior, at least that's what I believe, so what good does it do for me to judge them, I have my own behavior to worry about. It doesn't matter how immoral society becomes, it does not give you an excuse for your own behavior in the end.
And yet, the ONLY reason for the discrimination is because of those same Christian beliefs. No one believes it's the "atheists" who demanded that Prom Night be canceled to stop children they don't "approve of" from attending. Nice people.
I think I made my point. Why don't we go into typical evening shows on mainstream television. What do you think? At least 50% or more have gay characters. Every reality show has a 'diverse' cast, etc.. You're denying this? If so, you don't get out much.
I'll give you another opportunity to change your claim again. This time I suggest you support it with facts instead guesswork.
Gee, guess it must only be the shows that I watch then. And the statistics only count 'main' characters, not characters that don't appear regularly. To deny that they don't get broad exposure on mainstream television is ridiculous.

Idiot... you can not pass in 4 years and still not be a dropout.. yet not be in the official graduation rate numbers...
As for your assertions
Please post the cold hard facts behind lesbians being among the smartest students and that christians are statistically 'moral and uneducated'
Or just admit, like with everything else... you simply were pulling shit out of your ass in a feeble attempt to give your stance some apparent credibility
Idiot... you can not pass in 4 years and still not be a dropout.. yet not be in the official graduation rate numbers...
I guess I am slow. What does that mean exactly?
You can pass in 5 years... and not be a positive statistic in the graduation rate.. and that does not up the dropout rate
And still waiting for you to post the cold hard facts backing up your assertions... or for you to simply admit you were pulling shit out of your ass

Now THAT'S funny. What is that statistic? About 1 in 500,000?
The flinstones are on. Who is the gay character?

I think it was a cruel thing for the school administration to do. They essentially said "We are cancelling your prom because of these two girls"

Meh.

The School District solved the problem they had with the attendance of the gay students. Leaving the ACLU with nothing to do.
Ohh and by the way? High School students do NOT have all the rights of adults. This has been legislated and approved by the Supreme Court on more then one occasion.
As to the specific claim the gay students have no Constitutional right to violate school board rules and regulations. I would agree with the school board. Their constituents do NOT want gays at sponsored events like this. The Board is elected. By canceling official participation they leave the ACLU with no where to go. And they meet the demands of their electorate.
It's a public school. This directly violates the Constitution. But since you love hating the Constitution you love the decision.
The Itawamba County school district's policy requires that senior prom dates be of the opposite sex. What part of that is hard to understand? It should also be noted that a public school is not obligated to host a high school prom. Fact is, this is just another lame attempt by homosexuals to validate an abominable lifestyle which is rejected by most fair minded Americans. When a liberal state such as California strikes down homosexual marriage, that ought to be a sign that most folks don't agree with such a lifestyle. The only weapon you homosexuals have is to call someone that doesn't agree with you homophobic. That label as well as the "racist" label is quickly losing it's effectiveness.
It's you that's equating being of a different ethnicity to being gay, not me. I really don't see the similarity. Is being black, hispanic, jewish, etc... going against perceived societal morals?
At one time in mississippi, YES.
So, you're asserting that it was immoral to be black?

Not letting you off the hook... still waiting for you to post the cold hard facts supporting your assertions.. or for you to finally admit you were pulling shit out of your ass
