Well, fine then the school will chastise them, mandate a "racial sensitivity" assembly, etc.

And O'Reilly can bitch about it, but to go insane (when he has a dubious record) and to make Perdue this sweeps Trent Lott or Gary Condit is pretty damn grotesque. We just got over Santorum, to unfairly target another Republican in this season of gotcha journalism (aimed exclusively at Republicans) is unconscionable.

Hey I didn't say I liked his logic. Schools, to me, should have absolutley no rights over the students once they leave the school property. Unfortunatley, parents have been giving schools to much power. If this school really wanted to, they could go ahead and do serious damage to these kids. Here in NYC, A high school tossed 4 students out of school, for rape, even though, at the time, they had not been arrested or even charged yet, and the crime occured off school property. Alot of schools go so far as to do drug testing students, and can and will penalize them based on assocations outside of the school. Thats why I don't care anymore when some kid gets thrown out because of "0 tolerance" rule, the parents are the ones who empowered the schools to be able to do this. On the other side, one thing people on this board are forgetting, and O'Reilly missed it, is that this so-called "All white" prom, doesn't ban blacks, but they can only come if they are brought as date. If you think that makes this weird, the idea behind the segregated proms in the first place, was because they wanted to avoid inter-racial dating.
