Itawamba High School in Jackson, Mississippi has cancelled its high school prom for this year citing "Distractions to the educational process caused by recent events.'' Well what are these recent events that can cause such distraction as to cancel the high school prom? Well it turns out that 18 year old Constance McMillin is the one who has caused this suppposed distraction. Word got out that McMillin was planning on bringing her lesbian girlfriend as her date (dressed in tuxedo) to the prom. The school board jumped all over this saying it was against school policy, the policy states that prom dates must be of opposite sex. McMillin says that the policy violates her constitutional rights. Now she is the target of retaliation among the other students for being the reason the dance was canceled. The only hope the kids have of getting their Junior/Senior prom is if someone hosts it privately.
What do you think... is the schools policy outdated and unfair?
