Georgia Gov. Nathan Deal Won't Respond To Group's Call To End Segregated Prom
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.
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.
Gee, in 2013, you can't get a Republican governor to end SEGREGATED PROMS?!?!

It must make the GOTP so proud... Particularly when they just spent $10 million to find out that they need to overcome their image as: 'scary,' 'narrow minded,' and 'out of touch' and that they are a Party of 'stuffy old men.'... (Not to mention bigots...)
