No Last Dance

I have to admit,This is a very slow news week...That being said,I was reading some articles on Yahoo,And came across this,Lesbian teen back at Miss. school after prom flap -.

Here's the problem.. I am not against anyone's right to freedom of speech,Or freedom of sexual preference, My problem is when you ruin an event for ALL other persons involved..The blame can be dished out on both sides,I don't want anyone to think I am coming down hard on this student.The school could have just entered the 21st century,And accepted this young lady was bringing her date while wearing a tux.

But they actually sent out a letter,Stating that a date"must be of the opposite sex" Who has the right to tell a student this?The kid has went through 12 years of bull shit to get to this point,Following rules and doing what was needed.. Only to be told they can't bring their date if it's not the opposite sex?This may have worked in the 1970's,But the rights of gay and lesbians have changed A LOT in the last 30 years..Sadly the school systems have not caught up to this yet!

I feel bad for the other students who will not have a prom,And there is no reason why you can't have a prom that was scheduled for April 2,2010. Explain to me how the ACLU ruling affects the preparations school going through with this?This just boils down to typical close minded thinking.

Now what you have to wonder and worry about,Will the student that was the cause of this be the victim of "payback"?Will the school board change their policy for next years prom?

It's hard to believe that in 2010 we are still talking about stupid shit like this, Instead of getting health care to millions who don't have it.Jobs to countless more millions that don't have a job(present company included)!

Don't forget,If you have not voted yet on the bands,Please do so now.. Tell your friends,And their friends to vote!!!
