Subject: Teaching Our Children Hatred

By canceling the senior prom rather than opening it to same-sex couples, you have taught our young people a valuable lesson. You have taught them they can use whatever power and authority they gain as they enter adulthood to practice hatred towards those who are different from them.

Is that the lesson you want these young people to take away from their senior year?

On the other hand, you can choose to teach them that sometimes people in authority make mistakes, own up to their mistakes, and reverse their mistakes. The ball is in your court.

Sincerely,
wlotus
