“Ol’ Miss-on-Miss Action”

The Mississippi high school that cancelled the senior prom over same sex dating defended their decision in court this week, saying the issue had become too big a distraction. The school board doesn’t however, consider constant national media attention a distraction at all.

The school board will eventually have to admit that “distraction from education” is not really the issue. People who want to be educated generally just leave Mississippi.

Constance McMillan, the senior who wanted to bring a same-sex date, also planned to wear a tuxedo to the formal dance. This offended many of the locals, who can’t understand why overalls “ain’t formal enough.”
