Particularly given that all the other students went to a prom held at the same time?<br /><br />Incidentally, I am amused but unsurprised that you are defending the kind of people who think not only the homosexual but the special-education students ought to be socially separated from the other kids.PGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09381347581328622706noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7321349.post-52023414806540244242010-04-20T13:17:20.864-07:002010-04-20T13:17:20.864-07:00Superdestroyer,

If the judges had ordered the school to hold a prom, would the result have been any different. The parents/students would have organized a second prom and the plaintiff would still be upset.Superdestroyerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14708119879383713312noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7321349.post-73810706466157771112010-04-19T19:21:41.327-07:002010-04-19T19:21:41.327-07:00The school explicitly, in its notice canceling the...The school explicitly, in its notice canceling the original prom, said it encouraged parents to organize another prom. The judge, in his reasoning as to why McMillen should not win her preliminary injunction to require the high school to hold a prom, gave as his main reason that it "would defeat the purpose and effort of those individuals" who were organizing the private prom to which purportedly all students would be invited. <br /><br />It will be interesting to see how the April hearing plays out. Will the state Defendants say that they lied to the court on a point that was integral to the decision not to grant the injunction? or will they put the blame on the parents for lying to the school, which lie was then passed along to the court?PGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09381347581328622706noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7321349.post-67666554116574792722010-04-19T18:18:18.913-07:002010-04-19T18:18:18.913-07:00Should the government really be able to force peop...Should the government really be able to force people to hold a private party and then tell them who to invite. The judge should have had enough sense to say that when the School as part of the government decided not to have a prom, that the government was no longer involved and the students had no standing. Since the parents were not party to the lawsuit and probably were not under oath, can they really be held in contempt? <br /><br />Or is this just a sign of the coming one party politically correct state where the government will control who people interact with and how they interact?<br /><br />A better question would be: why do schools still have something as anachronistic as proms? When 30% of high school student never graduating and most schools failing, why spend one minute of effort of putting on a prom?Superdestroyerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14708119879383713312noreply@blogger.com
