we're not going to discriminate...

but we really hope some private organization hosts the prom, so they can discriminate against gay students.

Way to go Mississippi. Your name may be full of homo-morphic letters, but you are setting a precedence of being a very homo-phobic environment.

I'm not happy that private organizations will discriminate against gay people, but it is their right, as a private organization to decide who attends about their own events. But I don't think a public school should be able to discriminate by simply farming out events and trying to wash their hands of any responsibility.
