i caught this on yahoo this morning and didnt know if this was legal for the school to do this?

Yes, the school district is under no obligation to provide a prom.

The law only requires them to provide a free and appropriate public education with equal access to that education for all students!

Students and their parents could hold their own prom on private property.
 
Also, in Mississippi, sexual orientation is not a protected characteristic.

It's wrong, on many, many levels. But yes, it is legal.
 
Now they are suing the school trying to force a prom. That's not going to happen either I don't think.
 
There are alot of upset people over this. I wonder how long it will take the school to surrender?
 
Those people are in Mississippi.
They were one of the last states to surrender their Jim Crow practices.
Their governor blocked university access to blacks.
I don't see them giving in over this.
not without a fight, anyway!
