So we've all heard about Constance McMillan and the GA school where they denied her and her girlfriend access to the prom and then canceled it when a judge ruled this wasn't constitutional. Well, apparently, a bunch of parents organized a prom for all the kids in school. Except that Constance, her girlfriend and their friends were all sent to a different venue.

It isn't yet clear what actually happened. But what seems to be the order of events is this:
-Judge rules that refusing her access was unconstitutional, but also refused to force the district to hold the prom provided Constance was invited to the one being set up by the district's parents (it seems the party they were hosting fell within the scope of the district, because they used school funds the students had raised and/or received the student info from the school).
-Parents set up the prom, but don't want Constance there. But they can't refuse her access without facing a lawsuit, so they "cancel" the prom.
-Another group of parents rents a hall where the kids can have their "prom"
-7 students plus Constance and her girlfriend show up. The rest of the school parties elsewhere at the prom that had been "canceled." And it has been suggested that school officials were directly involved in the ploy.
As of right now, it does seem that they violated the judge's mandate and will be subject to a lawsuit. He didn't stipulate that Constance also have a prom, but that she be invited to the* prom. I don't think the organizers, though disgusting, could be sued. But there could definitely be a case against the district if they in any way aided the formation of the "secret" prom--anything from student info to funds to providing chaperons.
