Thank you. When I said states I guess I should have been clear. I'm strongly opposed to localized policy making when it comes to school. I mean I guess the school should have control over how things are carried out but ultimately it is a very bad idea to give them control over the way students should behave. I'd understand if this kid was walking into a prom wearing leather chaps and singing ABBA. But they canceled a prom because she wanted to go to prom wearing a tux? Oh FFS.
Basically, there were probably a few administrators high up on the pecking order who decided to exert their authoritah in a way that is completely outside the boundaries of their actual powers. You know the types...a couple of "preacher's wives teachers" that are the school busybodies and have their hands in everything except keeping their own house in order.
I guess you'd just have to go to a rural school to know what I am talking about. :lol:
