EPTI also love the people who think that private schools can do whatever the fuck they want. Like fire teachers who have sex outside of marriage, ban lesbians from attending their prom, or only accept white students. Just because it's a private school doesn't mean they can discriminate.

People need to stop getting all defensive and insecure about these things; sooner or later people will cry sexist for not being able to get into an all female/male school because he or she is not that gender, or cry free speech violation for not being able to enter a restaurant nude. | ||

They can't honestly expect to run an all-girls school without expecting their to be lesbians. Melbourne isn't Mississippi. Something doesn't add up, maybe the school is actually sincere in their defense This. This is an all-girls private high school, there is going to be sexual experience one way or another, and the school knows this, assuming it's been around for at least 4 years. I don't think this is bigotry in any way, shape, or form. Just high school kids kicking and screaming when forced to follow rules, instead of finding ways to sidestep and skirt them. Also, if the school was as bigoted as everyone is making them out to be, the 'pre drinks' wouldn't have happened for fear of getting expelled before graduation for drinking underage. | ||

Not that I necessarily believe the excuse the school gave, but I don't think it's plainly ridiculous when taken in context. | ||

Also, you'd think an all-girls school would be more, shall we say, experienced in dealing with lesbian matters. I mean, the steamy stories I've heard from all-girls catholic schools... | ||

How else do you describe an event that only permits hetero couples?? though this is understandable i guess, you seem to not know what bigoted means | ||

''If we opened it up and said girls could bring another female they would all bring females; the policy is trying to create an event where boys are invited. We are a school that has an all-girls environment, and they are meant to invite guests, not partners.'' That's the thing I don't get. Is this a school dance/prom or something else? | ||

He didn't take a stand on the issue, therefore he's not putting forth a stance. I'm cool with people thinking the school was justified or that homosexuality is morally wrong (though I'd vehemently disagree with them). However, I'm not cool with people who try to victimize themselves and claim they aren't going to share their opinions when they're basically already sharing their opinion in the most absurd way possible. Imagine if I came into a thread about lynching or the holocaust being fake and said something like what he said. If you're going to take an unpopular stand on something then do it or don't post at all. | ||

Sad. Once again blatant hypocrisy. Apparently it's okay to imply that Mississippi is full of "in-family humpers" but if someone decides they don't like the idea of same-sex couples then that person must be persecuted and burned at the stake. Just for the dim witted I will simplify it for you. Racism towards Whites = good and "progressive" Racism towards any other race or even just having traditional views = evil and "bigotry" Pretty soon somebody will start talking about the Nazis and how this sort of evil bigotry could lead to another Holocaust. | ||

Hatred and bigotry towards those you perceive as "haters and bigots" is exactly the same thing no matter what your politically correct media/schooling has taught you. | ||

What does race have to do with this at all? Mississippi has plenty of black folk. Unless you believe only whites are doing the "in humping" | ||

O_o Sadly no, (ok there's one more) but there is a video on the link which I just checked out  On a serious note, the video is pretty interesting as they briefly interview the girls, the principal of the school and a spokesperson for The Equal Opportunity Commission. It's only short, I suggest anyone interested to check it out. Link at the bottom of the OP. | ||

Can we not start saying stuff like "you are intolerant of my intolerance" please? But then they wouldn't be able to argue with you about it :[ If my hatred of close minded religiously brainwashed retards going around hating everyone different from them (aka people who don't get their life lessons from a crazy old dude in a robe with a stick) is bigotry then FUCK yes I am a bigot. At least my bigotry makes sense. | ||
