"Did You Ever Know That You're My Hero?"

The story of Constance McMillen has gotten some wide media coverage and I guess I was naive to think that it would help her struggle to be a part of a school funded prom that allowed her to A). Wear what she wanted B). Bring who she loved. Instead people from her school created TWO proms, and only told Constance about one of them and all but 7 people went to the real prom. Aren't the consequences of premeditated acts more severe? And to top it all off Constance's peers started a Facebook page to advocate for McMillen to "quit yer cryin".
McMillen obviously doesn't live in a gay bubble. She has the support of her father and friends and everyone else blames her for the prom fallout. She seems to be a very wonderful, intelligent, kind, and brave young woman and I sincerely hope that she gets her dreams.
So hear are the published work phone numbers for the Superintendent & Principal of Itawamba Agricultural High School.
