I guess it depends why the dance was cancelled. Budget reasons? (Good way to cancel it for controversy but claim budget). Give the kids a chance to pay for it.

Hey remember the movie "Flashdance"?

LOOKS LIKE THEY'RE GONNA HAVE ONE HELLUVA PROM NOW

Prom offers flood in for Mississippi students


By Chris Joyner, USA TODAY
JACKSON, Miss. — An advocacy group for gay students in Mississippi said it has been fielding dozens of offers from around the nation to hold a prom for students of Itawamba Agricultural High School in Fulton, Miss.
The Itawamba County school board Wednesday canceled the school's planned April 2 dance after a lesbian student challenged the district's policy against same-sex dates. As news of the board's decision spread across the nation, Matthew Sheffield of the Mississippi Safe Schools Coalition said his office was flooded by people looking to help.

"We have so many people willing to donate money, resources, time," he said. "We are trying to figure out what we are going to do."

Among those is New Orleans hotel owner Sean Cummings, who offered to transport the students by bus from the northeast Mississippi city and host the prom at one his properties free of charge.

Film director Paul Saltzman offered to provide a screening of his movie Prom Night in Mississippi as part of the entertainment at a private prom for the students. The documentary, shot in 2008, is about the first racially integrated prom at Charleston High School in North Mississippi.

Funny how just by looking at her picture you KNOW she's a trouble maker. Destined to be a "Community Organizer" after she "grows up".

IMO She needs professional psychiatric help, not a prom.

If you're referring to the above picture I posted, dad is on the left, mom is on the right and student and her g/f are the two in the middle.

I really find this whole episode silly. Suprisingly, Mississippi is very gay/lesbian tolerant, particularly with younger people.

OK, the dykey girlfriend is hot. WAY hotter than the fat chick. WTF?

The uppity dyke is repulsive and fat. It's the hot dyke that CLEARLY has the more severe mental problems.

I did not mention the mother at all.

Headshot is incredibly misleading compared to full photo.

Seems like the school district set itself up when it said no same sex dates, while I am not an advocate for homosexuality, why not let the kids come to the prom with whomever they want. They (school officials) have just provided a stage for promoting discrimination, they could have kept their mouths shut and it would not have been an issue.

it's not like they were going to be drinking out of the furry cup, right there on the dancefloor, now is it?!

So really, who gives a rats ass who brought who to the dance.

Snipe, do you get upset when you got 2 strippers giving a show, with each other, while you watch? Do you find that sick as well?

Yes, 2 strippers giving a show at a HIGH SCHOOL PROM would be extremely sick.

She wants to go to the titty bar dressed like a man....fine. Not to a school dance.

WTF, over.
