9. That such a thing should be necessary speaks loudly

about the state of things in much of Georgia. While Atlanta is reasonably open, much of Georgia is not. No high school student should have to militate for an integrated prom in 2013. It's inconceivable to me that such a thing is still necessary anywhere in the US.

Very depressing.
