So when a liberal group gets involved in ending a horrific practice, you can't voice your support of it because of who they are. Got it....

Georgia Gov. Nathan Deal won't be endorsing one high school's effort to have its first integrated prom -- at least for the time being, his spokesman said.

In an email to WMAZ-TV, Deal's representative Brian Robinson said the governor would not respond to a progressive nonprofit group's calls to support students' efforts to organize the first integrated prom at Wilcox County High School.

"This is a leftist front group for the state Democratic Party and we're not going to lend a hand to their silly publicity stunt," Robinson wrote, according to WMAZ-TV.

Yet three Republican state representatives have joined four Democrats in endorsing the integrated prom, according to Better Georgia, the group that called for Deal to also support the idea.

Wilcox County High School, located in Rochelle, Ga., is planning to have its first integrated prom this year, thanks to the efforts of a small group of students who organized and fundraised for the event. The Georgia NAACP helped the students' effort by lobbying the Wilcox County School Board to end the practice of segregated proms.

2013 and they are still having a segregated prom. I'd say the local government is doing a great job.

Good! Makes me proud to have voted for him few years ago. It's none of his business. It is the business of the parents of the students in that town. Its called FREE ASSOCIATION they are more than welcome to make their own prom and pay for it all etc..I am sure they would get plenty of kids to attend. As usual you social engineers just can't stand people allowing to associate with who they want.

Why should the governor of a state be involved in a high school prom? Why would he give a ****? Sounds like more whining BS by the offended.

Proves, if you are not forced, people will be free to do as they please...... and be happy.

Force it and there is going to be a lot of resentment and entitlement.

Good for you, GUV. It is not the Governor's place to legislate everything.

"Horrific practice"? What, you mean the practice of keeping white people away from the black prom?

I see the sheet-wearing contingent has come out in force again.
