Let a Constance Law Be Passed to Ban Public School Social Events

According to a report on HotAir, the Mississippi school which canceled the high school prom because a lesbian wanted to declare her lesbianism  by advertising it wearing a tuxedo escorting her girl friend to the prom has been given the following punishment:

In the 12-page ruling, the court wrote, “The record shows Constance has been openly gay since eighth grade and she intended to communicate a message by wearing a tuxedo and to express her identity through attending prom with a same-sex date. The Court finds this expression and communication of her viewpoint is the type of speech that falls squarely within the purview of the First Amendment. The Court is also of the opinion that the motive behind the School Board’s cancellation of the prom, or withdrawal of their sponsorship, was Constance’s requests and the ACLU’s demand letter sent on her behalf.” Further, the court says that since the school represented the private prom being organized by parents at a furniture store as open to all students, then the court expects that event will indeed invite McMillen and her girlfriend.

Miss Constance has been paraded around the television news world for her personal advertisements.  Her feelings had to be expressed.  She had her rights……her freedom……and above all….her “identity”…….Wow!   Her Sacred Identity!!!!

The school also has a right, and now, I believe a duty not to host anymore school social events.  Let a law be passed in every state, called the Constance Law, which exhonorates any public school from any responsibility or duty of any kind to provide social events for student populations.  Perhaps such a law will encourage the young and foolish to express their sexual waves and winds in less august surroundings than the public school……a place that used to be set aside for learning knowledge, in some preparation to recognize and someday express wisdom not feeling gayness and massaging the carnal.   Not every corner of American life should be filled with garbage.

Fun and Games at the ACLU Local School in Your Neighborhood

If you are older than 30 and have noticed that the high school where you attended isn’t exactly what it used to be…..YOU ARE RIGHT!  

There might be police officers at the door, Marxists in the classroom, and the ACLU checking out the nuances of all the sexual expressions which might be in the breeze from classroom to classroom.  ACLU is interested in pidgeon holes awaiting a mix-up.  After all, the American Civil Liberties Union is the Fountain of Fortune for lefty trial lawyers making millions off of your neighborhood public school and its taxpayers.

No institution has damaged the nation’s public education more over the past two generations than the American Civil Liberties…..first with its attack on Christianity,  and now with its interest in adolescent sex.

Its trial lawyers share their bullions with Obama’s Leftwing of the Democrat Party. 

I was interested in what connection the ACLU might have with Itawamba Agriculltural High School in Mississippi  besides looking for more bullion to further intimidate America’s local  high school alma maters.  The school is being sued by the ACLU.  I found the following from the lesbian website, Get Busy, Get Equal:

“In the era of Will & Grace, Portia & Ellen and Neil & John, it’s hard to believe that there’s a public school in America that would insist on holding a “straights-only” prom or else none at all. But sure enough, Itawamba Agricultural High School in Fulton, Mississippi is trying to do just that.

Constance McMillen, an 18 year-old senior at IAHS, approached her school’s administration because she wanted to attend prom with her girlfriend, also an IAHS student, and knew that same-sex dates had been banned in the past. After meeting with school officials, she was told that she and her girlfriend would not be allowed to attend together. Constance was also warned that they would be thrown out even if they came separately but tried to slow dance with each other or even if their presence made other students “uncomfortable.”

That’s when Constance contacted the ACLU, and we sent the school a letter demanding that they respect her constitutional right to bring a female student as her prom date and to wear a tux. The school board met over the issue and, apparently, saw that there was no way they could hold a prom and not allow Constance and her girlfriend to attend.

So they canceled it.

What is up with that? As Constance has said “prom is one of those high school moments everyone should get to experience and enjoy.” How did this school board decide that it would be better to rob the entire school of that experience rather than let two of their own students attend together? Are they stuck in 1953?

Today we filed a lawsuit in federal court that charges that school officials are violating Constance’s First Amendment rights to freedom of expression. We will be asking the court in the next week to grant a preliminary injunction ordering the school to reinstate the April 2^nd prom.

Constance’s story has struck a chord with the media and she’s been featured in everything from USAToday to the front page of Yahoo! We hope all the national media attention will shock the school board to their senses and that – for the good of ALL of their students – they’ll hold the prom and allow Constance and her girlfriend to attend. And if they do, we’ll be the first to welcome them to 2010.

Comment:  I wanted to know more about this site and discovered it has a direct link to the ACLU…ironically the CL stands for Civil Liberties, remember.  The directions I followed led me to the following press release at the American Civil Liberties  website:

 ”The American Civil Liberties Union launched a new version of its Get Busy, Get Equal online activist toolkit, www.aclu.org/getequal . Get Busy, Get Equal now incorporates new technology to make it easier for LGBT people to work for change in their communities. The website offers tools for ending gay and transgender discrimination, making schools safe, and winning recognition for LGBT relationships.

“Partly because of all the awful anti-marriage initiatives of the past few years, Americans are aware of and talking about LGBT issues more than they ever have before. We need to take advantage of that and make the case that the only fair treatment for LGBT people is equal treatment,” said Matt Coles, Director of the ACLU LGBT Project. “There is no better way to move people than to have conversations between LGBT people and other Americans. And there may be no better way to make those conversations happen than to work together on proposing nondiscrimination laws or domestic partnership policies in towns, cities and counties, or even in workplaces.”

The new toolkit includes a blog to give users insight into how to make local change a reality. It also includes a five-day-a-week roundup of LGBT news from across the nation. Short videos of ACLU clients that users can share with friends and family members put a human face on the issues and help spark meaningful conversations about what it means to face discrimination because of sexual orientation or gender identity. LGBT Project staff will record podcasts to give users an insider perspective on what is happening in the movement.

At the core of the site are the tools that LGBT people need to work for change at the national, state and local level. These tools range from things users can do in their spare time on their computers like sending letters to elected officials to straightforward directions on how to organize and pass safe schools policies, domestic partnership registries and nondiscrimination ordinances.

The site also takes advantage of social networking websites to make it easier for activists to connect with others and organize. “The web makes it incredibly easy for likeminded people to find each other and work for change,” added Coles. “And there is one thing I can guarantee after having done this more than a few times myself: you will be hard pressed to find anything quite so absorbing, quite so exhilarating, or quite so much fun as working with a few other possessed companions to pass a local law.”

In his inaugural blog post for www.aclu.org/getequal , Coles writes about his early efforts organizing and fighting for LGBT equality in San Francisco. In a podcast for the site, he talks about the fun and excitement that comes with working to pass local ordinances.” “

(Further comment..   I cannot think of many groups of Americans which have so befouled the cause they allegedly represent as the organized gay and lesbian community in this country…..They are driven by hate and hysteria, paranoia and depravity……..justified in their view by the enormity of their alleged suffering.   

Suffering does exist in the homosexual and will exist as long as there will be mystery and the unknown.  I can express this with certainty from my own life’s experience.   No other group I am aware of is more crippled by its own narcissism and its own sickness of exaggerated self importance than the Gay and Lesbian models they create and emulate.

Like all modern Leftwing sleaze, they manipulate and regurgitate words made beautful by their mere utterance…..freedom, liberty, love, friendship, civil rights, equality, remindful of the president the gay and lesbian masses  worked hard to elect, Mr. Obama.  Truth from their mouths has no meaning.

Gay politics has no business in the American public school …..PERIOD.

Democrats Against Democracy of School Choice in D. C.

I presume some Democrat polticians and the army of bribers who keep them doing their business actually live in Washington, D. C.  Some of them even might have children, however retro that might seem to them to be.

How many of these children do you suppose are enrolled in the Washington, DC public school system?   Why did you guess, “Zero”?

How would you like the Democrat Party as you child’s school board?

An editorial in this morning’s Washington Post reports on the battle for school vouchers in the nation’s capital:

“PARENTS LOVE IT. Students benefit from it. But neither the White House nor most Democrats in Congress had the backbone to support a unique program that provides vouchers to low-income D.C. families in search of better educational opportunities. Now the question is whether D.C. Mayor Adrian M. Fenty (D) — who has made education his priority — has the guts his party leaders lack and will seek to save this worthy program.

The Senate last week all but decreed the demise of the D.C. Opportunity Scholarship Program when it rejected, in a 55 to 42 vote, a measure that would have permitted the enrollment of new students by reauthorizing the program for another five years. Introduced by Sen. Joseph I. Lieberman (I-Conn.), the measure was vigorously opposed by the teachers unions. Hence, only three Democrats — Mark Warner of Virginia, Dianne Feinstein of California and Bill Nelson of Florida — joined Republicans in supporting the program that has, since 2004, allowed hundreds of needy children to attend private schools instead of low-performing public schools. In an era of hyper-partisanship, these few Democrats deserve to be remembered for putting the interests of children above party ideology and fundraising. The willingness of three other local Democrats — James Webb of Virginia and Barbara A. Mikulski and Benjamin L. Cardin of Maryland — to deprive poor children of choice deserves to be remembered, too.

The animus toward this tiny, clearly successful program is not grounded in logic. “The real goal of education,” Ms. Feinstein said, sensibly enough, “ought to be to provide a number of different choices for youngsters so you can see where they learn best and then enable them to be in that situation.” That’s supposed to be the philosophy of Mr. Obama’s Education Department, too, which purports to want to reward programs that work. The program has been subject to rigorous scientific study, and preliminary evaluations have shown academic gains and student improvement. But the Obama administration had shut the door on new students and didn’t lift a hand to rally support for its continuation.

What is everybody scared of?” Ms. Feinstein asked. Sadly, the answer is no secret: Teachers unions have an outsized influence on the Democratic Party. The unions fear that if objective analysis rather than political muscle is allowed to shape education policy, traditional public schools that are more frequently union shops would lose out. Only the children would be better off.Is there any hope? The Obama administration is pressing the District government to manage the program for current scholarship students, who supposedly are going to be supported until they graduate; the nonprofit group that has been running the program is pulling out. We hope Mr. Fenty not only will agree but will allow new students into the program. His schools chancellor, Michelle A. Rhee, has argued against cutting off this opportunity while public schools are years away from being able to provide all students with proper educations. This would be no financial burden: The voucher program has been able to educate students for less per pupil than charter or traditional public schools have.

No doubt Mr. Fenty is being counseled on the political dangers of going where President Obama and Sen. Richard J. Durbin (D-Ill.), among others, fear to tread. Such arguments have never stood in his way when it comes to promoting school change. We hope he gives serious thought to stepping up one more time.”
