Reply #27: Do I have to do everything for these people?

[jmowreader]

I guess I could go to the record store, get a copy of Footloose, write out a note "do what these people did" and stick it in the case, and mail it to the student body president.

Apparently it's just tooooo much trouble to have the kids pool the money they were going to spend on prom tickets, rent the VFW hall or the National Guard armory, and hold their prom in there. Parents will be the chaperones, they'll get a DJ or a band, they'll fix the place up nice, it will be fun. And when Jesus doesn't suck Itawamba County straight into hell because one girl wore a tuxedo, the school will realize how stupid they were. The alternative already discussed here, where a casino owner in Louisiana offered to bus the students to his hotel for the prom, is NO alternative. Why would you want to go to prom in a different STATE?

OTOH, they could sue the school board for permission to hold their prom and the school board would retaliate by not allowing the students into the gym until five minutes before the prom was to start. With NO decorations, NO refreshments, NO place for prom pictures, the lights turned on full and the DJ set up on a card table it would be the worst prom in the history of the United States, and the school board would go out of their way to ensure it was. Naturally, every kid in school would blame Constance for fucking up the prom.
