Yes I do. I also think the young woman took the high road in her comments about the whole situation. Good for her.
I was excited for the teen when i first read about this a few days ago. Totally understandable that the school would not allow. However, If i was on the distric board I would first think of a way to "use" this national spot light for a good cause... I´m not sure exactly what I would do -- a good brainstorm is in need, but its not everyday your small town gets national attention like this...
Too bad conservatism won.
I love the kid for asking her, but I don't think the school had much choice. I live in a super conservative state, and I can only imagine the kind of firestorm the principal would have to deal with if he had allowed her to attend! It reminds of that poor girl who wasn't allowed to bring her girlfriend to prom, now that was really screwed up!!
I disagree with any situation where somebody else is deciding what's best for me..
But it wouldn't have been. It was for a high school prom. There needs to be some decorum for that.
first didnt it say the kid has some mental issues...? where the fuck was his mom anyway? how the hell did this kid know 600 porn stars on twitter?
second of course the school banned her...i mean isnt that just duh? maybe they can invite her for career day too.
third...lets go back to idiot mother. she knows her kid has mental issues and yet she says that she "supports him". what a good friend! snort. well if my kid ends up on freaking cuz he asked a bunch of porn stars to prom ill smack him upside his head so hard he'll see dizzy for a week.

Trust me, he's still King of the Prom, even without the crown!
Hopefully the party at home will help him forget he missed the prom.
I don't think we've been fair to the young porn star.. she's only 19.. so not too far removed from high school days yet.. what she does is just employment and may not be reflective of the rest of her life.. I don't think she had any plans of throwing her date over a table and putting on a show for the class.. and lastly a lot of kids nowadays go to school with minimal clothing and with every intent of being risque and enticing.. for the close-minded and moralistic "powers that be" to arbitrarily decide that a young 19 year old girl can't attend a prom because of what she does for a living is sheer nonsense.. I'm just sayin'..
I am pretty torn on how I feel. I understand the schools point that it may have caused a disruption, The other guys would have been giving her so much attention it would have ruined the prom for the girls.
But on the other hand, she is just a 19yo girl who happens to perform in adult videos. That does not make her a bad person, she is not breaking any laws so she is really being discriminated against. If it was a well known star like Jenna Jameson or someone of that status, I could understand but this girl is relatively unknown and if the school didnt make a big deal about it, it could have gone by unnoticed. Afterall, there was no publicity about this until after the school said no.
I give the girl a lot of credit for taking the high road. She has shown a lot of class.
I remember about 15yrs ago, a guy in NY invited some pornstar to his prom and it went off with no issues, except for the teachers having pics taken with her, LOL.
I can't even imagine a high school letting someone bring a pornstar for a date. But hey, the guy tried. Good for him.
Honestly prom is a night that everyone should experience. She didn't get it the first time and she didn't get it the second time. Honestly there should be like a prom for pornstars who didn't go the first time. Pall in all she seems like a nice girl I mean she's a porn star not a serial killer.
i think she should be allowed to attend ... just because she is a porn star doesnt mean she would act like one, and I agreee the kid should have kept his big mouth shut
High School Prom, no way! But at least the boy will now be remembered by everyone from school.
Nikki,
I remember the incident you posted about Houston going to New York, but I recall another situation about the same time in California with a different Porn star as well. Don't recall all the particulars but it was a similar situation that the school and school district had nothing on the books against that sort of thing.
As for your question about if a 18 y/o student was doing porn videos before the prom, it feels similar to the Tracy Lords scandal. But even though Tracy was underage, and the prom situation you posted is different, I don't have an issue with it as it would make me a hypocrite!
Kisses!
Steph
People decide what's best for us all the time. Especailly in schools. They decided that guns, knives, and other weapons shouldn't be brought to school. That's a good thing. Can't go to school and smoke pot or drink alcohol. Can't go to school and look at porn on the computer. Can't go to work and look at porn on the computer. Many laws and rules are over reaching and unnecessary. But some serve basic function to prevent chaos or anarchy.
I'm conflicted, it's not like the girl is going to perform a live sex act on the dance floor. I'm not sure what her age has to do with the argument either way. Would it be more or less appropriate if the porn star was 30? If so, the problem isn't with her profession but with her age.
I think I'd have to reluctantly side with the school on this one. Better to err on the side of caution.
