Wonder if the DJ will play Adam Lambert?
I'm kind of on the fence on this. I really think public schools have no business hosting proms, mostly due to the spectacle they have become. Even back in the stone age when I was at a tiny rural southern school, one couple showed up in a helicopter.
Especially in southern states, where there tends to be a lack of parity in incomes, the prom is something for the "haves" to get together and listen to a bunch of goddamn nickleback.
But obviously, if the school is holding an event, and the prom is the pinnacle of many small town southerners' lives, it should be open to all. Really, it was just a few years ago that one school wrestled with combining their black and white student proms.
