This is 2013.
This is a public school.
This is why I have no interest in living in the deep south.

"In a world full of color, Wilcox County High School still sees things as black and white.
"There's a white prom and then we have our integrated prom," said Bloodworth.
The girls said if any race other than Caucasian tries to attend the white prom, that student would probably be escorted off the premises by police. That was the case last year when a biracial student was turned away by police.
The senior class is raising money to pay for the integrated prom, without the help of school officials. It will be held April 27.
The students said the school offered a resolution to permit an integrated prom for all students to attend, but not stop segregated proms."
