Supt. Judith Lundsten said the move was triggered by a letter from the American Civil Liberties Union on behalf of a single mom who had complained that her daughter had not been able to attend her father-daughter dance. Lundsten said school attorneys found while federal Title IX legislation banning gender discrimination gives an exemption for "father-son" and "mother-daughter" events, Rhode Island law doesn't. The new ban was brought to light Monday by Sean Gately, a Republican running for the state Senate, who said if elected he will work to change the state law. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Is there not another male in her daughter's life that could have attended the dance with her? Why wasn't her daughter's father able to attend? This single mom is a selfish woman. Way to spoil the fun for so many others because of whatever choices in her life led to her daughter not being able to attend a dance. DCG | | | |
