So, you're the one who gets to define normal? I don't think so.



As an attorney, I would think you would agree that the appropriate way to
have dealt with this situation would have been to petition the district
school committee to revise their policy *before* the prom was scheduled.

The policy in force requires dates to be of the opposite sex. Instead of
creating a public media circus, the girl and her herd of ACLU lawyers should
have sought to have the opposite sex policy changed or dropped.
If they had, the school sponsored prom would have gone on with probably only
a few raised eyebrows.

I think the committee acted appropriately. They sought to avoid any
demonstrations or problems at a school sponsored event. They suggested
that perhaps a private organization sponsor the prom instead.

In a culture based on the rule of laws, it seems that now-a-days adherence
to existing laws or rules is
optional.
