Today in “What? This Isn’t From The Onion?”
By Headline: Georgia Teens Fight for Racially Integrated Prom Because It’s 2013, for Chrissakes.
Black and white students at Wilcox County High School in south Georgia aren’t allowed to go to the same prom. Instead, students and parents sponsor segregated proms — yep, in 2013 — and kids that break the skin-dress code are barred entry from the caucasian rager. A mixed-race group of friends who hang out all of the time but can’t wear corsages and dance to Top 40 together are trying to encourage their peers to participate in a radical social experiment called NOT BEING RACIST.
“We’re embarrassed, it’s embarrassing, yeah it’s kind of embarrassing,”
Yeah, I’d be kind of embarrassed to attend a high school that holds a prom which, you know, bans any member of the First Family of the freaking United States from attending.
