A couple of things are really confusing me about this prom that was cancelled in Mississippi.
1. How did they find out these two girls were planning to go together before they would have simply turned up at the dance? (Barring the pair entry at that point would have been a different issue) I seem to recall that when my boyfriend and I went to our senior ball you just paid your money (and maybe showed your student body card, I think ASB membership was required) and bought a ticket -- I dunno that they weren't attached to names and even if so, they certainly had no idea who was going with whom.
2. "In his 12-page order, Davidson also ruled that Itawamba Agricultural High School's denial of 18-year-old Constance McMillen's request to wear a tuxedo to her prom was a violation of her rights." ... Request?? Why is there any preset control at all over what people wear? I understand a dress code and telling people they can't come in if it's not met, but again, I'm lost as to how they found out about this before she just turned up dressed that way.
