High School Lacrosse team suspended after spelling prom invitation on bare bottoms

Mlive.com - Kristoff Wennersten figured his prom proposal had to be one-of-a-kind if it would have any chance of being accepted. But the Huron High School senior never imagined it would result in a suspension for himself and 12 of his varsity lacrosse teammates, whom he recruited to help spell out the message at a school soccer match via their derrieres. The players displayed the question, "Will You Go To The Prom With Me? Yes or No?" on their posteriors while mooning Huron senior Carolyn Campbell at a game. All 13 players were suspended for a undetermined number of games and ordered to complete 20 hours of community service. The students were also suspended for one day of school. Huron's lacrosse matches, scheduled for this past Saturday and Monday, were postponed. "Inappropriate is inappropriate," Huron athletic director Dottie Davis said Monday after meeting with lacrosse varsity players and their parents. "It disrespects women, and that's the clear message we need to have the students understand - what may be fun to them isn't necessarily fun to everyone else." Carolyn's mother, Melinda, said she and her husband were stunned when their daughter informed them of Wennersten's prom invitation. "It's hard to know what to do," Melinda Campbell said. "It just happened. I hate to say, 'No harm, no foul' because some people were harmed.
I did my student teaching at Huron High School when I was at UMichigan and I can say that this shit never would have happened on my watch. How do you suspend these kids for this? If you want to suspend them for something suspend them for playing a pussy sport like Lacrosse. But not for inviting a chick to the prom by mooning her. This is arguably the dumbest suspension I’ve ever heard of in my life. Listen I think I know a thing or two about disrespecting women and this isn’t even close. I’m still trying to figure out who was harmed by this? I mean the girl laughed and said yes. Hasn’t this principle ever watched Laguna Beach? Everybody is always searching for the next best way to invite somebody to prom? Sometimes you got to step it up a level.
