What "they" should do is get governmental agencies out of the business
of determining what is right or wrong in gender preferences. There
are lots of serious issues needing attention. Who someone dates, or if
adults, sleeps with or marries, is not the business of government.

I don't equate a local school committee as being big "government".
It's likely a 50 year old policy that nobody has challenged or even
thought about before.


Government is government.

My junior year in high school, my best friend and I wrote a letter that
was published in the Register in which we griped at length at the dress
code that *required* that boys wear ties to class, *even* when the
classroom temps were in the 80's...we had no a/c in our high school.
We started a protest and a week later, on a Tuesday, *every single male*
in the school refused to enter the building unless the tie rule was
rescinded. The principal went ape****, but in the end, he gave in. He
gave me a hard time my entire senior year, though. It was worth it.

There is no reason for that mississippi school system to deny a prom to
gay or lesbian couples. The system rightfully could impose and enforce a
rule against alcoholic beverages.

then it isn't me, it's an ID spoofer.
