Long Island principal cancels prom

http://www.cnn.com/2005/US/10/16/prom.canceled.ap/index.html?section=cnn_latest

ok i'm confused........how is what happens after Prom his concern....and for crying out loud it wasn't his money............SO STUPID

If he feels that students are using a school sponsored event as a staging ground for an "****" or are coming in ****, or leaving to go get ****, i mean he has the right to cancel the prom. Hell im just happy he wasnt my principal because i came to prom ****, got drunker after the prom, but i did miss the ****. :x

what's the point of cancellin prom? these kids are still gonna go out and spend ridiculous amounts of money on limos and dresses and stuff, just to go to a non-school affiliated party... and its not as if cancelling prom is gonna stop the ****-izing yes orgyizing is a word. its my word.

there will be a prom... w/o the school's support.... so this was just pointless...
