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.

I think I'll defer to the ACLU about the process. They're pretty good at
what they do. It sounds like the ruling was discriminatory at best. They
seem to be a bunch of bullies, who when they can't get their way, take their
marbles and leave.

They punished a bunch of kids who either didn't know or didn't care about
two girls.
