Both Sides Not 0
When I was a young ‘un and integration came to my school (meaning 11 black kids joined my high school senior class of 70 or so), the grown-ups were deathly a-skeered that a black kid might dance with a white kid, so they cancelled the prom.
A group of parents organized a “private party” at a local firehall. Every not-black member of the senior class and his or her date was invited–and no one else.
To give you an idea of how long ago that was, it was long before I accumulated three grandkids.
I hoped that that sort of nonsense was over, but noooooo (emphasis added).
Raw Story spoke to activist Bryan Long of the progressive group Better Georgia, whose group has asked Georgia elected officials “to publicly support the students of Wilcox County who are fighting to end a ‘separate-but-equal’ high school prom.”
I’m trying to figure out how there are two sides to this issue.
I’ve got it!
There’s the right side and there’s the wrong side.
