That's some deplorable shit.

3. Assholes.
The shots of the morally upright bigots doing booty dances are especially charming.

10. It's very telling of them--it wasn't just about singling out
Constance for being gay, but about singling out other people because they wanted to discriminate and be haters. It's...not a good character trait on their part to put it in the least "they suck as human beings" kind of way.

12. Mississippi really is a fucking shithole.
I can't stand any part of the southeast. Going there is like entering a time warp.

17. Sounds like you're channelling Phil Ochs
Edited on Tue Apr-06-10 10:29 AM by starroute
He was thinking more of murdered civil rights workers -- but a lot of it still applies.

http://web.cecs.pdx.edu/~trent/ochs/lyrics/heres-to-the-state-of-mississippi.html

And here's to the schools of Mississippi
Where they're teaching all the children that they don't have to care
All the rudiments of hatred are present everywhere
And every single classroom is a factory of despair
There's nobody learning such a foreign word as fair
Oh, here's to the land you've torn out the heart of
Mississippi find yourself another country to be part of


On edit: I see somebody already posted it downthread. I'm not surprised.

13. This comment said it all:
Ahh, screw them. Constance has a $30k scholarship, an internship in NYC, and a bunch of new friends. When she's way the hell out of there, those people will be left there living in their trailer looking at their pictures from prom.

15. Here's to the State of Mississippi by Phil Ochs


Phil Ochs, Here's to the State of Mississippi Lyrics
Looking for Phil Ochs tabs and chords? Browse alphabet (above).

Artist: Ochs Phil
Song: Here's to the State of Mississippi
Album: There But for Fortune

Here's to the state of Mississippi,
For Underheath her borders, the devil draws no lines,
If you drag her muddy river, nameless bodies you will find.
Whoa the fat trees of the forest have hid a thousand crimes,
The calender is lyin' when it reads the present time.
Whoa here's to the land you've torn out the heart of,
Mississippi find yourself another country to be part of!

Here's to the people of Mississippi
Who say the folks up north, they just don't understand
And they tremble in their shadows at the thunder of the Klan
The sweating of their souls can't wash the blood from off their hands
They smile and shrug their shoulders at the murder of a man
Oh, here's to the land you've torn out the heart of
Mississippi find yourself another country to be part of

Here's to the schools of Mississippi
Where they're teaching all the children that they don't have to care
All of rudiments of hatred are present everywhere
And every single classroom is a factory of despair
There's nobody learning such a foreign word as fair
Oh, here's to the land you've torn out the heart of
Mississippi find yourself another country to be part of

Here's to the cops of Mississippi
They're chewing their tobacco as they lock the prison door
Their bellies bounce inside them as they knock you to the floor
No they don't like taking prisoners in their private little war
Behind their broken badges there are murderers and more
Oh, here's to the land you've torn out the heart of
Mississippi find yourself another country to be part of

And, here's to the judges of Mississippi
Who wear the robe of honor as they crawl into the court
They're guarding all the bastions with their phony legal fort
Oh, justice is a stranger when the prisoners report
When the black man stands accused the trial is always short
Oh, here's to the land you've torn out the heart of
Mississippi find yourself another country to be part of

And here's to the government of Mississippi
In the swamp of their bureaucracy they're always bogging down
And criminals are posing as the mayors of the towns
They're hoping that no one sees the sights and hears the sounds
And the speeches of the governor are the ravings of a clown
Oh, here's to the land you've torn out the heart of
Mississippi find yourself another country to be part of

And here's to the laws of Mississippi
Congressmen will gather in a circus of delay
While the Constitution is drowning in an ocean of decay
Unwed mothers should be sterilized, I've even heard them say
Yes, corruption can be classic in the Mississippi way
Oh, here's to the land you've torn out the heart of
Mississippi find yourself another country to be part of

And here's to the churches of Mississippi
Where the cross, once made of silver, now is caked with rust
And the Sunday morning sermons pander to their lust
The fallen face of Jesus is choking in the dust
Heaven only knows in which God they can trust
Oh, here's to the land you've torn out the heart of
Mississippi find yourself another country to be part of

18. WHO
Who can I complain to? Who actually has the power to do something about this? All I found was the Superintendent.

Teresa McNeece - Superintendent

I am willing to send my thoughts and my friends would be willing to do the same to the right people. I am talking about people who will listen. People who actually have power and are just as disgusted as I am.

19. These People Still Haven't Gotten the Point That...
if they do sneaky, nasty, underhanded, mean-spirited stuff like this, sooner or later they WILL be found out. Glad to see it hasn't taken too long this time.

20. How can a whole schoolful of parents be so horrible.
They really deserve some kind of award for Cruel Lowdown Behavior by A Group of Parents
