Hotel owner offers prom for Mississippi students


JACKSON, Miss. (AP) — A hotel owner in New Orleans is offering to host a
prom for seniors at a Mississippi high school.

The school's own prom was canceled after an 18-year-old lesbian student
said she wanted to take her girlfriend, and wear a tux. The ACLU
demanded that school officials change their policy against same-sex prom
dates. And it said the district violated Constance McMillen's free
expression rights by not letting her wear a tux.

McMillen is asking a federal judge to force the school district to
reinstate the dance.

Meanwhile, New Orleans hotel owner Sean Cummings is offering to take the
students to New Orleans by bus, and host a free prom at one of his
properties.

He tells a Jackson newspaper (The Clarion-Ledger) he's disappointed with
the school board's decision -- and that high school should be concluded
on a "joyful" note.

What better place for a prom than New Orleans?

That might cut down on the DUI problems. ;-)


Might bring a mass pregnancy outbreak too. There is good and bad in
everything. Oh well!

It is not Seattle. So maybe there is some personal responsibility.

Yeah, why not look up teen pregnancy rates so you know what you're
talking about instead of yaking from your ass, as usual?

That's because Mississippi ranks right up there at the top!!!

Here, let me do a 30 second search that proves you wrong...


States ranked by rates of pregnancy among women age 15-19 (pregnancies
per thousand):


1.Nevada (113)
2.Arizona (104)
3.Mississippi (103)
4.New Mexico (103)
5.Texas (101)
6.Florida (97)
7.California (96)
8.Georgia (95)
9.North Carolina (95)
10.Arkansas (93)


States ranked by rates of live births among women age 15-19 (births
per thousand):

1.Mississippi (71)
2.Texas (69)
3.Arizona (67)
4.Arkansas (66)
5.New Mexico (66)
6.Georgia (63)
7.Louisiana (62)
8.Nevada (61)
9.Alabama (61)
10.Oklahoma (60)

"U.S. Teenage Pregnancy Statistics National and State Trends and
Trends by Race and Ethnicity" Guttmacher Institute September 2006.


See Washington State in the top ten? Guess not, ass talker...

Not only is MS stupid enough to get pregnant, they're the most likely
to keep 'em as teens.

Mississippi, the state that leads in the promotion of teen parenthood.
