I suggest a ban on this Indiana teacher because she has no 'clue'

Indiana teacher wants straight prom because LGBT people have no ‘purpose’

A special education teacher from Sullivan, Indiana is joining a group of students, parents and other Christians in the community who are calling for a prom that bans LGBT people because she says they have no “purpose in life.”

WTWO-TV reported that the group met at Sullivan First Christian Church on Sunday to discuss creating a prom that only allowed straight students as an alternative to the inclusive prom at Sullivan High School.

“We don’t agree with [homosexuality],” special education teacher Diana Medley told the station. “It’s offensive to us.”

Add to the no gays:

No dancing.
No hand holding.
Hawaiian punch punch.
Cookies.
Sit around and sing hymns for three hours, then go home.

If they throw it, they'll get 2 awkward couples and a really awkward solo, all sitting on the chairs by the church auditorium wall, trying to sip Hawaiian punch and look interested as they listen to light christian rock.

Even the hardcore Christian kids won't want to go to that.

You and your small-minded friends can hold your own dance and invite only those who are perfect enough for you. Your refreshment budget would be low, a half-gallon of milk and a box of graham crackers should suffice for the crowd . . .

and "pious" probably has enough hang-ups and horrible things she has done in the past that she has to use her "religion" as a shield to fake that she's a decent human being.

It's not working, lady.

No "purpose in life"? Really? And this is a special education teacher? She certainly is "special" alright.

We simply can't have any of her offspring loose on society.
