I was reading about the high school prom that was cancelled because a young woman wanted to wear a tux and take her girlfriend along as a date.
The local school board cancelled the prom, gave some politically correct answer in a press release and now the other kids are ticked at her. THere is a plan to have an "unsanctioned" event in place of the dance for the seniors.
The gal went to the ACLU and it is turning into a media circus.
----------
I laugh at stupid people (this gal and the ACLU) because of their bland stupidity, inabilty to adapt and overcome and general spinelessness.
She has every right to take her date and dress in a tuxedo for her prom.
The school has every right to cancel the prom and the ACLU has the right to
make a big deal about it.
When I was in school, there was an effort to close the dump that sat across the street from the school. It was a putrid smelling lot that seemed to really stink in the morning-I had to run the baseball diamonds in P.E. for wrestling class and it was a motivation to run quickly past that part of the field!
When the Student Council and all the other goody two shoes put up a table to get signatures to have them close the dump, for some reason they thought that a bunch of kids that had school next to the dump would make a difference.
A few friends and I grabbed a table from my Journalism class, made up some signs and taped a white piece of paper on the table top. With the "close the dump'' faction on the quad stage to our left, we began to chant, "save the dump" and pounding on the table.
It was a fun lunch hour. We had people come to the table laughing, signing the paper with real and imagined signatures, chanting along and just being stupid.
Even the people trying to close the dump laughed and gave us the thumb's up for our efforts. For a while? Wwe were the Save the Dump guys.....
We had a lot of fun times running up to the lines that the school administrators drew in the sand.
IF WE WERE TOLD NOT TO DO SOMETHING? We sat and thought of another way to get around the rules.
LOLOLOLOLOLOLOL,
We used to play frisbee on the quad and when it was deemed too dangerous?
We changed it up and played with a tennis ball. Remind me to tell you about the Rugby shirt, hot chocolate and my best pal.
Some 30+ years later? The dump is still there-while not a working landfill, It makes me laugh about what a bunch of morons did to ruffle the feathers of the 'establishment' and what they thought was RIGHT for everyone.
-------------------------------------------------
Anyway?
I am laughing at this story. Kids/teens these days are a bunch of wussies.
They have no creativity, no drive, no imagination and no testicular fortitude. The cannot even think for themselves, they have to run to their parent-who, by the way, encourage thy kids to take a stand -----by going to a fracking lawyer/ACLU.
This idiot gets the whole prom cancelled because she's 'fighting for her right to take her GF to the prom'. Like WTF? Instead of being creative? she ruins the whole event for everyone because she ain't got a brain.
THIS IS NOT ABOUT HER BEING GAY. IT IS ABOUT HER BEING SO
UNIMAGINATIVE THAT SHE DESERVES the derision she gets! Instead of being slick about the whole thing? She ruins it for the whole graduating class then complains about the comments directed at her while she attends classes.
How's about sneaking the tux into the dance and changing in the bathroom?
Or
Not tipping your hand and showing up at the prom in the tux?
How's about wearing a skirt with a tux shirt and jacket, then putting on the pants after you got in?
Nope, gotta make your intentions known beforehand and start a ruckus that wrecks the whole deal.
Here's a little clue about making a statement?
Be secretive.
It would have been more of a statement had she kept the school administration in the dark....By tipping her hand she gave them just the right amount of time to foil her plans.
She could have gone to event and had a huge laugh on getting one over on the school.
Nope, now everyone has to suffer because the squeaky wheel needed a lube job. I wonder if anyone had saved up, planned for the last year or dreamed about going to this event?
I wonder when someone will have THEIR parents get a lawyer to sue her for pain and suffering or the money that may have been put out already?
There are plans to have alternate proms-some people are trying to arrange an event and not invite the girl and her date. I heard this morning that there will be a prom and she will get to attend it.
I am sure that parents will lean one way or another because of the controversy! Either way,no one will get the full experience and memories about THEIR prom.....nope, It will always be about this gal, her date and her tuxedo...
What a great lesson to every kid in that grad class. Instead of being innovative, clever and smart when dealing with "the man"? Run to a lawyer, make it a huge deal. It just shows how unoriginal kids are these days.
Later on I am going to trip by the dump/landfill and chuckle at how I thought pulling a harmless stunt, years ago, saved it.....
