Gov. Deal refuses to support integrated prom in Wilcox County

[groundloop]

Here's an article which was linked to in an email from BetterGeorgia:

What it comes down to is that our governor is a chicken shit who won't support students in their effort to have an integrated prom. He claimed "This is a leftist front group for the state Democratic party and we're not going to lend a hand to their silly publicity stunt." I think it's time for an all out phone and email campaign to enlighten our governor.

Spokesman: Gov. Deal Won't Comment on Wilcox Prom

Gov. Nathan Deal won't take sides in the controversy over some Wilcox County teens' efforts to integrate their prom.

By email, his spokesman, Brian Robinson, said Deal would have no response to a liberal group's call for state officials, including the governor to speak out........

Better Georgia asked Deal and others "to publicly support the students of Wilcox County who are fighting to end a 'separate-but-equal' high school prom."

The group's release listed seven Georgia state representatives -- four Democrats, three Republicans -- who have reportedly issued statements of support for the Wilcox students........

1. By not taking sides, he is siding with bigotry. Disgusting, but not a surprise.
