As the black junior class president, her son helped organize the open-to-all prom. The class also has a white president.

And...

"It seems like it's something secret," she said. "The white people are afraid to speak up against the separation.

Then you said...

That's just wrong.

But with the school sanctioned level of segregation apparent in the article, not entirely unexpected. The racial tit-for-tat that seems to be the S.O.P. in this school invites this kind of crap..JFK

nah, it is just "freedom of association" as protected under the 1stAmendment, so it isn't "wrong".
It does appear to be silly, however.

Could it be that the White students dont want to listen to crap music and prefer "Tean Angel" instead? Maybe there is too wide a cultural difference? Maybe they have other reasons. What happened to freedom of association?

This is a shame. I would only agree with a white only prom if the black students were having a black only prom. It is sickening when people see color before character.
