This is freaking disgusting. As an American I can't believe shit like this happens in "The Land of the Free". My favourite part is:
The decision was made, the board of education said, "taking into consideration the education, safety and well-being of our students."
Safety? Well Being? Education? Who is safer due to the fact that two girls can't go to prom together? What is learned by this? My prom last year was a blast! I can't believe it's taken away from students because people are uncomfortable with a lesbian couple.

Believe me, when I was growin up, I thought the worst thing you could turn out to be was normal, So I say freaks in the most complementary way. Here's a song by a fellow freak - E.V

Yeah... two teenager girls slow dancing could start a riot.
Jesus Christ, can we just get a bunch of helicopters, air life that whole state into the middle of the Atlantic and drop it in?0 -

Shouldn't it be safer with the lesbians? I mean that is two less girls to possibly get knocked up at the prom.0 -

You'd think that would be the case. I'm glad I live in a progressive city.NERDS!0 -
at first read I thought stupid prejudicial school then I thought more like chicken shit school board that figured they couldn't please everyone so let the private sector take over.
I guess it was bound to happen someday0 -

meh... there will always be people stuck in a time-set that is 2 generations old.
Then there are some who have become unstuck in time* and are 2 generations ahead. We're called cynics or ideologists depending on our mood.

like i said ... america is an extremist nation ...
you think you're in the land of the free but the reality is that religious idealogues still drive people's thinking0 -

me and my redneck way's and ideas will stay away from this one, I have dated bi-sexual women and lived with
a couple prostitutes for a few year's and it's never as easy as it seems, there's always baggage and different
idea's from all parties.
