This sounds like the modern day Cinderella story. Minus the fairy godmother, evil step sisters, and a dashing prince. In this case the transportation is covered, the dress is ready, and the zillion make-up and hair accessories are on standby. But replace the evil stepmother with school administrators following the student voted for restricts people going to the prom alone.

The video explains it all. But the whole story really makes me want to bang my head against my keyboard.

And the student government’s reason for this whacked-out rule?

The student government wanted the prom to be more of a formal event. By barring the singles? Oh yeah, that’s real formal. Formal discrimination.

“Formal” just sounds another word for social filtering. It could be possible we have unknowing been transported into the Victorian ages of giant ball gowns, and wigs that take up half the room, and egos so massive prom goers without any dates would just get in the way of all their twirling.

I wonder if a formal prom rule would prohibit freaking. If not, then in that case the stags are better off.
