Not many are going to like this, but I don’t think a public school can legally justify barring gay couples from the prom. There isn’t a sufficient basis of harm to deny them from an activity that’s put on a public institution.
You have hit on the real problem - public schools. As long as government is involved in education, there will be constant fights over who controls them.
Privatize all education and give poor parents vouchers so they can choose the school they want for their children.
Problem solved.
Not only that, but we might finally have some real progress and innovation in education instead of having kids march lockstep for 12 years trapped in a moribund institution. If transportation had been controlled by government all these years, we would still be riding in horse-drawn buggies.
Good, then the conservative kids in school should
come to the prom in black face. No harm in that either.
Exactly.
I have a serious problem with showing kids it’s okay to outlaw other people’s personal lifestyle choices because you disagree with them. The true “conservative” approach to homosexuality is speaking freely about the dangers of immoral behavior and reserving the right not to tolerate it on one’s private property, but not making rules about what other people can and can’t do with their own lives.
