Keep your views to yourself! This is a civil rights issue and you have violated these kids' rights. A prom should be a happy time for them and an event that they can fondly look back on but your school and school board have taken that away. Shame on you!

I always felt this country was an example of human rights. The authorities seem to think otherwise. Be it in violating women rights, sexual rights or other. I'm getting prouder and prouder to be living in the Netherlands. Not all of it is OK, but conceirning human rights and freedom of choice, it is.

Is discrimination part of your school's syllabus? As teachers and as school board members, you should be very careful of what you are teaching -you are forming young people’s minds.

There should be no reason for this to happen. When I attended my Senior Prom in high school IN MISSISSIPPI,(86) half of the girls that attended came in Tux's, and came as a group, or Stag and we all met there. Nothing was said about that there. This has become an issue of her choice in mates/dates, not all about what she is wearing. The people in the School district and my state have shamed me, and I am embarrassed to see that these people are living in the dark ages. Come on people, get with the program, this is the 21st century, and there are more important things to worry about then a woman’s choices in her dress or mates. More power to the young woman for standing up for her belief’s and for herself. She is a beautiful young woman and I don't think this is going to stop her from achieving her future goals! Bravo!
