PFT – It was bad enough when the NFL suspended Steelers running back Le’Veon Bell for two games because of his DUI and marijuana possession arrests.
But now he can’t go to the prom.
According to Annysa Johnson of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, school officials in Wisconsin said they won’t allow him to attend the prom which he promised to attend with a 17-year-old fan as part of a Twitter bet.
The Waukesha school district cited a policy which prohibits guests from the dance if they have been involved in drug, alcohol or violent criminal incidents, or if they’re over 19. There are other events around the prom he apparently can attend, but not the dance itself.
“You can Google Mr. Bell,” school spokeswoman Terry Schuster said.
And so the pussification of America not only continues, but starts to accelerate. In our nation’s never ending War on Prom Fun, now you can’t bring anyone that’s ever “been involved” with pot, booze or a fight. Maybe it’s just the Weymouth in me, but I’m pretty sure that by that standard the function room would have been empty. Including empty of all teachers and faculty. Granted, that was back in the powdered blue tux with ruffled shirt days. But the thinking was that if you’d never smoked weed, gotten drunk or had at least one violent criminal incident, we didn’t want you there. Stay home at your room in the monastery, ya boring bucket of guts. We only had room for the fun people at our party.
So this girl wants LeVeon Bell, but he didn’t pass the Google test? Meaning he has an DUI on his record and he and LeGarrette Blount waked and baked the morning of a preseason game and that’s enough to keep her from getting the guest she wants. That’s the standard now. He wasn’t caught dealing oxycontins in the school or beating up teachers. A grown ass man got charged with misdemeanor possession but if graduating high school seniors are exposed to him for three hours, they’ll all end up as Teen in Crisis in an anti-drug PSA:
So now you can only invite a celebrity if he’s Mitt Romney. Make that 19-year-old Mitt Romney. And if my own kid was home on leave, he couldn’t go to his long time girlfriend’s prom. Not because he’s ever been in trouble, but because he’s too old. Got it. But I expect nothing less out of a world where kids get bussed to prom and have to pass a Breathlyzer to even set foot on the bus. Sad. All I know is that if no one’s allowed if something bad comes up on their Google check, I wouldn’t want to go either.
