A fan of Miss America Nina Davuluri got himself in trouble after asking if she would accompany him on the prom. A student of Pennsylvania high school asked Davuluri if she would come with him to prom during a question and answer session at school.
Eighteen-year-old Patrick Farves was suspended from school for three days as he said he got a in-school suspension on Thursday.
“At that point in time, it was 10 minutes before the presentation, and I was pretty much set to do it,” he told the York Dispatch.
As he walked away from the stage, in front of the entire student body, Farves did a little jig of happiness.
But the class clown was pulled from the assembly and given three days of in-school suspension for defying the officials who asked him not to pull the prank.
He later apologised, writing a letter to the district’s assistant superintendent that he was honestly sorry for the commotion.
“I do understand why the administration was mad,” he told the Dispatch.
“I don’t want to be the kind of person to try to justify myself … I didn’t intend to disrespect the administration. I can see how it was seen as a slap in the face.”
His suspension sparked a #freepatty Twitter outcry where hundreds of students wrote about the unfairness of the punishment, Daily News said.
