Students are in an uproar over not being able to have their senior prom, and now the American Civil Liberties Union has gotten involved as well.

I think it goes without saying that this is utterly ridiculous. In a time when we are passing laws for gays to marry, seeing same-sex couples become parents and raising our kids without prejudice, this is a travesty indeed.
