Catherine Maine had never been to a prom before, so she asked her 18-year-old grandson Bryce if she could go with him.
Eufaula High School immediatly shot down the idea, and said the granny wasn’t welcome, because
she could possibly give alcohol to the minors attending the dance!
Her grandson has now decided to stay home for the night and his classmates are rallying behind him with a #LetGrannyGoToProm campaign circulating on social media platforms.
The school defended its decision.
“Safety of students and staff is the first and most important of the many tasks of a school administrator. For the 10 years I have been high school principal, we have denied requests each year from students asking to bring older dates to prom,”
Principal Steve Hawkins said in a statement to WVTM.
