Georgia high school to host first integrated prom - 4 views

Bryan Pregon on 05 Apr 13"Students at one south Georgia high school share classrooms and sports fields; but, they don't share the same prom." Welcome to 2013. How far have we come in fighting segregation... not far enough.

melissamartinez on 05 Apr 13This is just wrong. The students are being segregated because of their race and color. Shouldn't racism be illegal? especially in schools!

Jamie Cash on 05 Apr 13I think having separate dances based on color is just wrong. If they can attend the same school, games and classes, then they should also be allowed to attend the dances with their friends, no matter their color.

Colton Tracy on 05 Apr 13I can't believe to this day that there are people separating blacks from whites in some kind of activity. They share the same class rooms and everything else. Why can't they attend the same prom together? It amazes me how people think that they need to separate prom by the color of their skin.

Cara Ireland on 05 Apr 13I can't believe there is a school that integrated but yet they separate dances for the students? I think what the girls are trying to do is a good idea cause there isn't a good enough reason for the school to have separate dances.

Ericka Davis on 05 Apr 13I didn´t know segregation still was a problem.. This is annoying they have seperate proms for the races. It blows my mind how one can dislike and discourage people of a different color and race. We are all human beings.

michaelduquette on 05 Apr 13I think the fact that there is still segregation at all means the government isn't doing its job. They need to crack down on stuff like this.

Carlos Villarreal on 05 Apr 13Even now there's still a problem segregation. Having two different proms for whites and colored kids is crazy.

anadler380 on 05 Apr 13I didn't know schools were still allowed to do this. I don't understand why they can play sports together but not go to dances together.

courtney wilson on 05 Apr 13I thought segregation was no more but guess I was wrong. It doesn't make sense that they can play sports and attend other activities but they cant attend prom together. This isn't right!

jalitz336 on 05 Apr 13They shouldn't be able to do that. Th government ordered desegregation for schools in the 50's with the rights movement.

Delaney Bolton on 05 Apr 13Oh gosh, I'm pretty sure it feels like a slap in the face to the people who can't go to the "white" prom because they are black. I didn't even know they still did that. Or the fact that they were allowed too. It doesn't make any sense to me that they can have sports together but not dances?! Boggles my mind.

Amanda Ringberg on 05 Apr 13Its sad how their are still people out their that believe this is the right thing to do. I mean come on its a school dance they have these students do everything else together whats the point in separating them for a dance.

joshpowell on 05 Apr 13I can't believe this stuff still exist. The football team is segregated but the prom isn't? What took so long?

Ericka Davis on 08 Apr 13Is this even legal?
