That's just not right.

Y'all know I usually don't post things like this, but oh. My. God. They went out of their way to exclude a child. We've all heard the news stories of the school district that wouldn't let the lesbian student take her girlfriend to prom. Well, they sent her to one, but not the real one. Can you be any more bigotted than this? These are supposedly responsible adults, and to deliberately do this to a child? How is this even allowed, and why are these parents not being brought up on abuse charges? Gah. Just read it and sign the petition if you think these are some of the shittiest parents you have ever heard of. Not all abuse is physical.

Hey,

You're never going to believe this story.

First this Mississippi school board canceled prom because a senior girl wanted to take her girlfriend. Then they organized a 'fake' prom (five students attended), while the rest of the students went to a secret prom organized by parents.

I just signed a petition to stand with Constance -- and condemn the school board's failure to treat its students with the respect and fairness everyone deserves.

It's got to be pretty lonely to be in Constance's shoes. She didn't set out to start a fight in the courts or in the media. All she wanted to do was go to prom.

Join me in letting Constance know we're supporting her.
