    Segregated Prom (Dance Remix)

    By Detention  |  Posted May 28, 2009  |  Montgomery County, Georgia
     

    This is our response to the segregated proms that are taking place in high schools throughout the south. They are racist - no way around it.

     

    Simply citing 'tradition' does not excuse this behavior or mindset. Slavery was also a southern tradition, let us not forget.

     

    It is criminal to think students, parents, or educators would stand for this overt racism -- especially in a school house.

     

    It is time this outdated practice come to and end.
