How do I prevent Mail from highlighting priority emails?

There are always 4-5 emails at the top of my inbox that are labeled "Priority". Given that this is annoying and not fully effective, how do I stop (and keep stopped) Mail from compiling "Priority" emails at the top of my inbox view so I can decide for myself which emails are a "priority"?

You are in the wrong place. Click the View dropdown menu at the very top of the screen, three items to the right of Safari. Look for Show Priority about half way down and uncheck. Not the PriorityField further down.
