right or wrong

In the UK, should anything like that happen it would be a huge scandal.

And as I read, you do get extremes in the data. The problem is, if you really believe in free speech you will hear things that you don't want to. And if you believe in unrestricted freedom, things will happen that you don't want to.

But if you start prohibiting things one side will always be unhappy. It's not so much of a problem when it's just opinions but when these spread and you get action that is the real problem.

In this case, we have 100% agreement that this is out of order. But if the school let it happen there could be alot of Mississippi parents not very happy (don't ask me why). And the taxpayer has his say. As so does the rector of the school. So for most of the American Bible Belt this does not differ from norm.

You need someone higher up to say "Nop, you are having that school dance". And if the school is this biased then how can you know that the pupils might not have been expelled. Cos they might be in the future.

I'm just sayin'

in truth. it's against the law for the school to stop a person from going the the prom with their partner of choice. the school circumvented the law by saying the kids had too much work to do and they could get the venue they wanted. that said i don't think it would be too hard to show that was just a sham.
