Teen Suspended for Asking Miss America to Prom

Prepare for some school ridiculousness. An 18-year-old high school student decided to follow the fad of asking celebrities to school functions and as a result he go suspended.

Miss America Nina Davuluri visited the high school to talk to the students and answer some questions.  Patrick Farves decided that he was gonna use that time to ask her to prom in front of everybody. School officials found out about his plans and told him not to do it. Well, he did it.

"I'm the kind of person who, if someone says I won't do something, I'll prove people wrong. I will," he told the paper.

During the question part, he approached the mic, asked her to prom and gave her a plastic rose. His stunt got him three days of suspension.

The school released this response to the incident:

"It is not our practice to discipline a student for asking someone - even Miss America - to a school dance. However, it is our practice to set expectations for student behavior, to communicate those expectations and rules to students and families and to ensure those rules are followed within our schools. This practice is not uncommon and happens every day, multiple times a day, in schools, businesses and homes across America."

 

Miss America herself has even spoken out, defending the student, saying that the school should reconsider their decision.

"I was flattered by the gesture, although I am unfortunately unable to attend due to my travel schedule," Davuluri said in a statement posted to the pageant's Facebook page.

"I later learned of the disciplinary action taken and reached out to the school in hopes that they will reconsider their decision," she said.

Do you think the school should have suspended him?
