I disagree that the school should have held the dance and allowed the girl to attend in a tuxedo. A school has the right to set a dress code for its students. It also has the right to set standards of conduct for students, to include not dancing with members of the same sex if it so chooses. Homosexuality is not a protected class under the US Constitution. I don’t know about the constitution of the state in question, but it probably doesn’t include “sexual orientation” as a protected class either.
Homosexuals can take their agenda and shove it. They have no right to force the rest of society to bend to their will. I could just as easily claim a right to polygamy, necrophilia or bestiality. Should the school bend if I want to bring a harem, animal or corpse as my date?
Fact: the vast majority of people are NOT homosexual.
Fact: homosexuality is dysfunctional by nature.
Again, there’s no reason why the rest of society should bend to accept homosexuality as normal. It is homosexuals who should bend to accept the dominant culture. As they say, what they do in privacy is their own business. So keep it PRIVATE, and we’ll all get along just fine.
>>>Homosexuals can take their agenda and shove it.
It’s not an issue of homosexuality. It’s an issue of a local schoolboard composed of apparently not very bright people who are panicking and shooting themselves in the foot. And in the process punishing the entire portion of the student body who wanted a prom.
“A school has the right to set a dress code for its students. It also has the right to set standards of conduct for students, to include not dancing with members of the same sex if it so chooses.”
Which it obviously had not done. Otherwise they wouldn’t have had to resort to canceling the entire prom. Punishing EVERYBODY just to keep two girls from dancing is absurd overkill.
As I said, handled as poorly as it possibly could have, short of deploying teargas and tasers anyway.
