Prom cancelled because of lesbian

[The Village Idiot]

As this becomes more and more an issue, expect non-school sanctioned private proms to start popping up.

Which should have replaced school proms a long time ago. They can't teach kids to read, why do we trust them to do other stuff?

No kidin'!!! I don't understand why the Senior and Junior classes don't take care of 'em themselves. Without a doubt they would certainly be more efficient!

It has to be like everything else associated with school administration and events. They spend and waste 4 times what the private sector does on everything from lunch to prom!

[Wineslob]

My high school had four "lesbian" girls that I knew of, and several that considered themselves bi-sexual.  Of the "lesbians", three are currently in relationships with guys.  I know too many girls who would make outrageous claims like this for attention to have too much sympathy for this sort of story. 

I think you hit the nail on the head. It's "cool" to be "gay". Besides she's what, 18, and dosen't know her ass from a hole in the ground.

[delilahmused]

You mean like the teen who caused the cancellation of the once in a lifetime event because she wanted to flaunt her deviant behavior in public?

Part of the problem, I think, is giving things like the prom this kind of status. I didn't go to the prom (I thought is was a waste of time) and surprisingly enough I'm just fine and to this day don't feel the least bit deprived. My homeschooled son and his homeschooled friends didn't go to the prom and none feel deprived (his public school friends assure him the Marine Corps Ball is MUCH better and he didn't miss out on a thing). High school graduation is a once in a lifetime event. College graduation is a once in a lifetime event. Hell, I'll even grant that the high school grad party is a once in a lifetime event (it at least celebrates an accomplishment). A prom is just another school dance with fancier decorations and more expensive clothes.

Didn't go to mine either. In my day only the stuffed shirts and the celebrity jocks cared about such matters. Hell, the rest of us went to the "Daniel Boonies" and had a fishin'/kegger camp out!

I went out "partying" during the prom, but went to the after-prom party that was held at the YMCA.

I went, but didn't really care. Hated (and still do) getting dressed up. T-shirt and shorts for me. Also, the few times I went to formals, I got in fights with my dates. I must be an a$$.

The reason you got into fights with your dates....is not because of your personality. 

It's because the reality of the event does not live up to the expectations of the event.

I went to my senior prom and to my boyfriend's (he went to a different school) .... got in a fight both nights. And so did the couple we doubled to both with.

We broke up the week after graduation. He decided that I could go off to college for a year, then come home and we'd get married and I could be a housewife and have babies. I was going off to college and hoping to never have to come home again.

The thing is, if she really wanted to show her little corner of the world how regular and normal she is, she wouldn't have made a big deal out of her bedtime buddy preference. She would've just bought two tickets and just shown up with her BFB (best **** buddy). Nobody thinks anything of girls dancing together. I dance with my girlfriends. We used to go out in groups and all go out onto the dance floor together and dance. We got to meet a lot of local bands that way. It's the blatant in your face stuff that most people don't like. If they'd just calm down and quit trying to make a statement no one would probably notice or care.

A prom is a public forum and the gay couple is making a statement about their sexual orientation and thus it is protected under the First Amendment

The ACLU's challenge to the prom cancellation has a snowball's chance of succeeding.  No court is going to order the school to reinstate the prom based on someone's First Amendment right to declare their sexual orientation.  It's a non sequitur.

Cindie,

Thank you. Exactly right. I asked my kids about this and they both said basically what you just did. Their thinking was no one really cares, and nowadays there's supposed to be a limited touch policy, so they couldn;t be making out with a guy or a girl. I just think the kids in her class will always remember her as "the b*tch who screwed up prom."

A poll of teens a few years ago said that Prom=sex

[vesta111]

 Times do change, been 40 years since mine and back then there were NO restrictions on anything except the senior gals wore White gowns. 

I can understand a policy on no drinking or drugs, no anti social behavior or necking under the tables, that is reasonable.

What next, no obviously Pregos, no boys that have knocked up one girl and want to bring another.?

The class SLUT that demands to bring 3 male escorts.?

How about 4 male gay boy that want to attend as a group.?

Will they ban males from dancing together and allow woman to to do so.?

I heard the sad story about the school in the south that tried to ban mix race couples. One girl asked " What about Me--she was from a mixed race family.   The Principal ended his carear by telling her she was a   "mistake."

This is a rite of passage for the kids and young adults. When a student turns 18 they are now legal adults and headed out into the cold world full of every life style known to man. These adults are being treated as children-minors-under control of others.

Why the school bothers with the sexual practices of their students is beyond me. What happend to the new age education of being Proud of WHO or WHAT you are.? 

What would happen if the Lesbian girls decided to wear Tux to class every day.? 

Can the schools tell a gay lad he cannot wear hiking boots, jeans and a woman's shirt with ruffles under a Levi Jacket to school.?

My Dad had a ruffle shirt he wore under his Tux,  and the woman of Eastern Star wear a Tux when they are elevated in their Lodge.

Seems like these kids just want to have a memorable event, is it illegal in their State to cross dress.?  What ever that means, woman dress in men's clothing no one thinks to make a policy of skirts and dresses only for the girls.

BTW, as a grade school, we girls were not allowed to wear jeans or pants to school.  When the temperature dropped to freezing we wore the pants under our skirts to keep our legs warm while waiting for the school bus.  We had to remove the pants when we got to school. We put them back on for outside recess and to go home.

This was a small town Public School.

I wonder what the school does when some guys show up wearing a Tux with their faces painted to resemble the rock group KISS?

Darn, at my age today it was fun in the past  to be feminine and wear gowns and trier's that I knew I would never wear again.   Today knowing what I know today, I would get a form fitting Tux, spike heels and  at society.

There are too many teachers in to days world interested in the sex lives of their students.

Note the arrest records of the pedophiles in the school system.







   

[The Village Idiot]

Have you ever heard of Kevin Jennings "Queering elementary education" and Planned Parenthood's advice that kids should learn to enjoy sex at 10?

Public schools are supposed to educate kids and they are not doing that anymore.

Dances should be organized by parents groups not the school, they can't even do the most basic of jobs these days.

The bottom line, Vesta, is that in many cases the school can prohibit such activity that they deem as "disruptive" to the student body at large.......

Schools, through court decisions prohibiting prayer, and other expressions of faith and patriotism have set themselves up as areas where portions of the Constitutional protections don't apply......it is the "unintended consequences" of rampant, malignant liberalism......and it comes back to bite them in the ass on occasion....this being one of them.  Courts have upheld "dress codes", and other rules of school conduct many times that "liberals" would posit trample on students "rights", and so long as the school policy is known in advance (and in writing) that such conduct is against the rules, little can be done, short of petitioning the School Board to change the rules.....

Schools in Georgia made headlines a few years ago by having an "All White" Prom, which was a private affair, not held on school property, and paid for privately......the media screamed about it, and the ACLU sued (and lost), so it exists, and unless the government can somehow get away with eliminating our right to "free association", it will continue to happen......liberals don't like it, but tough.....life isn't "fair".....

Fifty years ago, when I was in high school, or prom was sponsored (and paid for) out of private funds (a "Booster Club") specifically in order that certain rules and standards could be upheld......and they were........

Would I have cancelled the entire prom over this.....probably yes, if the homosexual couple were prohibited under school rules from the behavior and dress that they proposed under normal circumstances.....

One must also understand that this is Mississippi, and not San Francisco.....people there still adhere to a set of moral standards and behavioral guidelines.....if homosexual couples want to make a "statement" about their depraved lifestyles, there are places that they can go to do that.......in Mississippi (as well as here in the midwest), there will be consequences for such behavior, whether one likes it on not.....

This becomes a bag of worms for everyone no matter where one lives.

My State demands that all kids have the right and duty to an education. Brings up problems now and then, some hit the papers and some we know about by word of mouth.

Example---Parents of a severe autistic child are on a 3 year waiting list for a special school. Meanwhile, the child has to go to a public school and can at times be disruptive.  The fact that this child will never learn to read or write much less speak ---she has little awareness of herself, does not matter.  She must be physically present in a school.

Then there are the boys and girls that are gang members that your children must sit next to every day, the druggies that are tempting your kids every day, the teachers that are headed for prison themselves do to their own antisocial behavior toward students.

By the time our kids have been in school for 12 years, they have not only learned their 3 R's but are street smart, they know so much more about life then we did, there has been a loss in innocence combined with loss of embarrassment or shame as we had.

Kids talk, are more open with each other and everyone knows when a girl gets an abortion, who is sleeping with who, who is on drugs, and on and on.

With the world these kids are going into they are receiving contradictory messages from everyone around them.  Some schools have GAY DAYS sponsored by, I have no doubt, the adult pedophiles.

Sex education seldom focuses on abstinence just how to prevent disease ,pregnancy, and how to get a free abortion.

Education today is a mess ,big time mess.  This controversial text book change is outrageous.

How can we teach the founding of our nation and leave out some of the most important people who are instrumental in the changes is a Mystery to me.

This is why I feel that there are more, far more important things for people to worry about then a student who is an adult wants to bring someone of the same sex and wear a tux to a freaking school dance.

At my youngest child's Prom, some student came waltzing in wearing a ball gown, he was the highlight of the dance, everyone wanted to dance with him including the Chaperon's.  His girlfriend had some problem and could not attend the prom with him so he took the high road.   His official date was his older brother.

It's a matter of principle......and moral values......since (I suspect) you are from somewhere in liberal New England, neither of those concepts would likely matter to you.......

Here in the midwest, and in the south.......these things do matter......and we don't really care what you "Yankees" think about it........

We will thank you to keep your opinions and politics to yourselves.....

It's interesting to note that last time I checked, the vast majority of the members of our Armed Services come from the south and midwest.......we raise our children to respect others, and value the morals and principles that made our country the world power that it is today.......without our "values" you would likely be speaking a different language by now, so, again, we'll thank you to refrain from your righteous criticism when we find that a couple of fags, in an intentional display of their "lifestyle" is determined to be offensive to a community, and action is taken........

Nobody really cares that these two girls are homosexuals.......and if they had kept their mouths shut about it, and came to the prom in "gender appropriate" clothing, no one would have given a damn, but they insisted on making a spectacle of themselves, and earned the indignation of the school and the community. 

I would bet that if one of the girls decided to come to the prom dressed as a male panther, she would have received the same treatment.......see how that works........keep your sexual proclivities in the bedroom, and you will get along fine with everyone.....

This prom thing is not a simple black and white issue.

You have to know that area.  Unless you understand, see, and feel what that area is like, outside voices mean nothing.

What the school did was right.  I see from reading today Miss Troublemaker is getting her prom with the help of radical activists.  Fine.

I'll tell you this, the other kids will get their prom too.  And it will be one to remember.

Don't confuse this place with places you know.  Up there, life is different, like a walk through time forgotten. I also think she did this for selfish reasons and her father was backing her to do it.

This whole thing isn't about her being a lesbian.  It's about HER wanting HER way.

Isn't that always the case.  Once the radical leftists get what they want, they move on to the next target and the next target.

[shadeaux]

Yes.

After all is said and done, she'll have to move. No way she'll be able to live there.

A selfish child that thought the rules didn't apply to her.

She thought wrong.

First of all no kid  is an adult till they hit 18. And as far as the school is concerned they have every right to regulate school activities. even the Prom . I have no sympathy for this kid and her girlfreind in this matter because they wanted to be catered to at the expense of the other kids and they got just that. Now none of the kids have a prom,

I was thinking that I had read somewhere, that this dyke is 18, but that doesn't make her an adult.
