There is a thread on it. I did a search, using the word "prom." The one I found has over 300 replies. I didn't read the article word-for-word but I am wondering if this was a party held by a group of people separate from the prom. I know that it was a private affair.

You're correct that it was a private affair--a private party, not a school-sponsored function. And i have to wonder if the kids purposely excluded blacks from attending, or if they simply invited friends in their clique who, by virtue of the nature of cliques, tend to be a homogeneous group. I don't think it's something that the Governor needs to involve himself in--it's not the govt's business who invites whom to a private party. Talk about a slippery slope!
