Pa. Student Suspended for Asking Miss America to Prom
The student had been warned by officials not to pop the question, but did so anyway.
A York high school senior was suspended this week -- for asking Miss America to prom.
Nina Davuluri was doing a question-and-answer session at Central York High School when Patrick Farves, 18, stood and asked her to accompany him to the dance, USA Today reported.
Farves presented Davuluri with a fake flower while his fellow students cheered, USA Today said. Davuluri just laughed.
The school didn't think it was a laughing matter, however. Officials had heard about Farves' plan in advance and had warned him not to go through with it, USA Today said. When he didn't heed their warning, he was given a three-day in-school suspension.
Davuluri was at the school talking to students about diversity, USA Today said.
