Constance McMillen has had a tough year in her Mississippi high school. But I think this is a case where the student taught the school a lesson.
"I knew it was a good cause, but sometimes it really got to me. I knew it would change things for others in the future and I kept going and I kept pushing..." Good going girl...bravo. "...the victory came at the price of her being shunned in her small hometown of Fulton." What small minded people.
This is the story of how a school system cancelled a senior prom to prevent
a lesbian from attending with her same sex date. The crux of the story is that the system supposidly had a non-disrimination policy in place prior to the event and the school cancelled prom to avoid a conflict with the rule.
