High School Proms vs. Family Values
» Prudes & Puritans
Two Long Island principals of Roman Catholic schools have decided to not have proms. I suspect the students won’t need proms if they want to frolic and fornicate.
Here’s a typical comment from a professional virgin:
“Common parlance tells us that this is a time to lose one’s virginity,” Brother Hoagland and other administrators of Kellenberg High wrote in a letter to parents in March, warning them that the prom might be canceled unless parents stopped financing what, in effect, the school considered bacchanals. “It is a time of heightened sexuality in a culture of anything goes,” the letter added. “The prom has become a sexual focal point. This is supposed to be a dance, not a honeymoon.”
