Itawamba County School District Motto: "Let's Punish Everyone"

A lesbian challenged the school district's policy of forced gender assignment when it comes to prom dates. She wanted to bring her girlfriend. Instead of complying with the ACLU's request to bring the school into the modern age they decided to cancel the entire event, effectively punishing the entire class and making the girl out to be the villain. Basically because she demanded the right to bring the date of her choice they decided it would be better to make everyone suffer.

JACKSON, Miss. (AP) -- 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.''

There's no logical correlation between the "educational process" and a prom. The prom doesn't educate, it's a reward and a rite of passage. The school district fuckheads think they're going to teach this eighteen year old a lesson in peer pressure, and teach the community who's boss. Now the entire world knows what heartless, spineless assholes you are.

Well... she learned something alright. Her school administrators are homophobic and used their positions to enforce their beliefs on others. Moreover, they're so scared of non-conventional lifestyles, that they would rather punish an entire class than bend a single inch. Sadly, it's a very important lesson for this pair of young ladies to learn.

Hey everybody just because the school and/or district won't sponsor the prom doesn't mean you have to call the whole thing off. If the seniors want a prom i say let's have one. I'll drive from Chattanooga Tn to dj if anyone in town would be willing to sponsor the private event. AND EVERYONE IS INVITED!! Hit me back. It's 2010 ya'll let's get real.

It is 2010 and we should have a private prom to keep out all of the homos and lesbians who are going to burn in hell. I do not want my children exposed to such evil. We are collecting money to have a PRIVATE prom without weirdos.

Nice bluff Eddie, but you and I both know that if you saw two attractive women making out your blood pressure would start dropping. Back in the old days, such hypocrites used to accuse the hotties of being witches just so they'd have to shave their whole body and get naked in front of a special anti-witch review committee. Good scam for getting free peeks at what you'll never have, right?

Be careful how you judge Ed. Everyone's got something they do for which others would be convinced that person needs to burn in hell fire.

Yeah, better shelter those kiddies as much as possible. IF you exposed them to other viewpoints, they might actually question something or... think for themselves!!!

And if they did that, they might actually come to the conclusion that your version of Christianity is pretty narrow and avoids large sections of Jesus's teachings. Love the sinner, right?

No no... don't let the bible get in the way of your homophobic rhetoric.

Oh and Eddie.... Please take a special personalized 'Fuck you' home with you. From me, to you. It's like a parting gift, you unenlightened bigot.

@ Eddie.

Romans 3:10
“There is no one righteous, not even one;
there is no one who understands,
no one who seeks God.
All have turned away,
they have together become worthless;
there is no one who does good,
not even one.”

Matthew 7:3-5
And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye? Or how wilt thou say to thy brother, Let me pull out the mote out of thine eye; and, behold, a beam is in thine own eye? Thou hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of thine own eye; and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother's eye.

Enjoy that hellfire, Eddie.
