i judge on a daily basis...and i make no apologies. i don't believe i'm necessarily christian anymore...but even when i was, i still made these judgments.
when you have children, you can't afford not to. |

it's not just about crime, it's about the people doing the arresting, charging, and the sentencing.
that's WHY it's out of whack. (at least, that's what we learned in my social problems class.) a person of color is more likely to be incarcerated. |

pregnancy can make you shrink...so you might have been taller before having your kiddo, lol. Hahahah hey that is a good one I can use had 2 kids shshsh so it is their fault I shrunk an inch and a half. I knew there was a solution to it somewhere also, if you were measured at the end of the day, your bones have compressed throughout the day. you'll be taller in the morning, lol. |

of course its a right to be how you were born,,, going to a dance, however, is a privilege that has usually come with some GUIDELINES about what the dance theme will be |

joel, i'd be happy to slap some sense into you.

so...being how you were born...isn't a right?
i wish this were a nonissue, i really do. |
|

so what about all the other kids who spent hundreds of dollars for their dresses, tuxes, limos and whatnots?

i think the issue is that this is a public school. equal and appropriate education and all that. as a public school, activities shouldn't be able to discriminate. I have a question about that,, would you say that enforcing dress codes is a way of discrimination or keeping some conformity as to avoid distractions? I think there must be some guidelines which are discriminatory,,what the basis for those guidelines are is debatable the girl in question wanted to wear a tux. nothing outlandish about a tuxedo. Even if they wanted to enforce a certain dress code, they could have let her go with her date anyway, without wearing the tux. msharmony, it IS about who she is...yes, she could have gone with a male, but it wouldn't be the same. it wouldn't be the "date" that she was attracted to. the only argument against taking a female is religious. keep religion out of schools. |

http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/blogs/scavenger/detail?entry_id=59910 This won't surprise you (since I live in San Francisco) that a local high school nearby is inviting Constance and her girlfriend to their prom. They are even raising money to pay for their flights. I haven't heard yet if she has accepted the invite. That's good news, Row. However they have had a groundswelling of support from many other schools too across the country. Even celebrities including Ellen have offered to help pay for or even host a prom for Constance and her girlfriend. Now she faces the tough choice of which one to go to. But I think the moral victory would be to have the prom at her very own high school as she intended. and she should be able to. |

imo she should have just took her not said anything and just appeared with her this was a grand standing play to bring much needed attention to the prejudice that is much too strong against the gay community that being said let us keep this in perspective my guess is this was a staged attempt to grand stand the issue and bring it to the media fed fest it has become yes she may want to take her girl friend to the prom but if that was the true intent she would have just shown up at the prom with her just a thought but hey what do i know i don't see it as grand-standing in the least...this is a tiny town of 4000 people. |

this really saddens me...
i saw that ellen offered to pay for the prom. i wonder if they could host it off of school grounds and have it work? *sighs* she wasn't asking to show up naked, she asked to show up with her girlfriend. i went to MY prom with another female (not as a couple) because i was fighting with my boyfriend. nobody said a word so long as you had a ticket. it's certainly discrimination. i'm hoping that doesn't happen here when my daughter decides to take her girlfriend to prom. |
