YORK, Pa. (AP) — A Pennsylvania high school student is in hot water for asking Miss America to prom during a question and answer session at school.

Eighteen-year-old Patrick Farves said he received three days of in-school suspension Thursday because he asked Nina Davuluri to prom.

The senior at Central York High School stood up and popped the prom question, then walked to the stage with a plastic flower. Davuluri just laughed and the students cheered.

School officials heard about Farves' plan in advance and warned him not to do it. He has apologized for disrupting the event.

The school says students are disciplined for breaking rules and this incident is no different.

Davuluri was at the school to talk with students about diversity and the importance of science, technology, engineering and math studies.

Pretty sad that the school is so upset over a once in a lifetime thing for that guy.

Send me to detention if old.

[Finaika]

So thirsty.

 

[terrisus]

Like the guy who was going to take a porn star to the prom.

Hey, can't hurt to ask.

 

[B.O.O.M]

lol oh come onnnnnnn...this is just stupid

 

[Skelter]

Did she say yes at least?

 

[delirium]

The schools told him not to do it and he did it. Seems fair to me.

 

[Gentle Rodriguez]

You miss 100% of the shots you don't take.

You get suspended for the shots that you do take.

Oh I remember, she's the girl that caused a lot of fuss on twitter last year.

School Administrations really need to collectively pull their heads out of their asses. Shit is getting to the point of absurdity.

5 year olds play cops and robbers. Nope suspended.
Kid throws an invisible grenade while playing war daring recess. Nope suspended.
Kid celebrating his birthday brings cupcakes for class. Teacher gets all pissy over little green toy soldiers on the cupcakes.

At least he didn't ask her by giving her friend a note.

A Miss *State*/Miss America will go around to various middle schools, high schools, and colleges to talk to youngsters about their platform and associated charities.

As for the kid, harsh. I hope he doesn't have to miss his prom because of it.

 

[Phoenix]

They warned him not to do it and he did it anyway. Not sure I can really be upset that he received punishment.

 

[Massive Duck. C.M.]

If they already told him not to, then yeah but...

They shouldn't have told him not to. Kid's going to do it big though

 

[Broder Salsa]

He only got suspended? Imo execution is the only proper punishment for such a crime.

 

[Arkos]

Damnit Spelding.

 

[XenodudeX]

She's pretty. Whats the problem?

Although her nose kind of bugs me.

mostly kidding. she's real pretty, but I expected prettier

cool that she's indian american tho

 

[RELAYER]

They probably told him not to because the school wanted to create an environment that was conducive to the topic of discussion.

Meanwhile, he is 18 and she is Miss America.

The school had to tell him not to.
He had to ask.

Sometimes two equally correct forces just meet head on.
Such is life.

It opens the door for a disruption of these types of events if you start allowing all sorts of off topic questions.

 

[doctorcdcs]

what's wrong with her?

edit: you already answered, nvm


.. you expected her to be prettier? lol

 

[shadowsdarknes]

Worth it and will make for a great story.

 

[NomarTyme]

I read prom as Porn...... i think i need to get off the internet for a few days .......

Yep.

 

[Salsa]

.. you expected her to be prettier? lol

in the sense that I think other "misses" are better looking, sure

doesnt mean it's not subjective of course

 

[Shao Kahn Brewing a Stew]

3 day suspensions are actually amazing! People will talk about him for the next 3 days and make his ego float towards the sky. When he comes back, he will have the Vince McMahon walk and all the girls will want to be with him, and all the guys want to be him.

 

[FO-totality]

They warned him.

Spoiler

Still totally worth it.

It's a Miss America Q&A. I think there's room for levity.

 

[Jarlaxle]

I never understood the purpose of suspension. So you did something bad, they let you stay home from school for a couple of days? Sounds good.

Detention, I get. Suspension is dumb. I'm sure he would do it again given the opportunity.

 

[Randolph Freelander]

"In School Suspension," not actual suspension. He'll be in a room for 3 days with an assistant football coach supervising, most likely. Basically a 3 day study hall.

that's cool with me


you're wrong of course, but that's still cool

 

[kingkitty]

Seems justified. Kid was warned ahead of time.

I'm sure the school paid for her flights in and out, her hotel room, and her appearance fee for her to only talk for an hour or so, so they weren't about any foolishness.

 

[Arkos]

Which is the same as 3 days without actual school? Except there's the added punishment of crushing boredom. So, still pretty lame.

 

[rjc571]

What rule did this kid break exactly? I doubt the school rulebook forbids students from asking out Miss America.

He'll probably still be expected to keep up with all of his class work while in there and he might not be allowed to make up anything he misses. He'll just be without his teachers.

 

[Arkos]

Yeah, but that's the point right, he'll be without actual instruction for 3 days. I'm not saying he didn't deserve it if he was warned and stuff, but it still seems like a stupid solution to me. That's all

Edit: also same lol vvvvv

 

[plasmawave]

Same lol

 

[Randolph Freelander]

That. He'll have the same assigned reading and the same homework, just as if he was in regular class. On the downside, he'll miss any in-class lectures. On the upside, he'll also miss all the time that is lost by the changing of classes, students getting settled in, and students asking fairly stupid questions and requiring lengthy, redundant explanations. If he's diligent, he'll likely finish everything he needs to do while at school and won't need to do much at home, unlike the other kids. Truthfully, ISS isn't all that bad.

Not that I spent any great deal of time in it or anything....
