Students at California high school caught running NFL-like ‘prom draft’
A California high school is throwing a flag on students running an NFL-like “prom draft,” which ranks female students and allows boys to pay as much as $140 for a first-round pick, officials said.
Kathy Scott, the principal of Corona del Mar High School in Newport Beach, sent an email to parents after word spread about the bracket for the June 7 prom, the Daily Pilot reported.
“This ‘draft’ appears to be similar to a sports draft,” Scott said in the email.
“What I understand is that male students purchase draft tickets and females are then ‘drafted’ as dates for the prom. I do not believe this is intended to be harmful, but this is not behavior that is consistent with our school’s outstanding reputation,” Scott said in the email.
One junior at the Orange County school paid $140 for a top pick so he could select a specific girl, a friend told the paper.
“It’s awkward because he spent a large amount of money to go with someone he doesn’t talk to,” said the student, who did not give his name. “And she finds it awkward that he chose her.”
He said his classmates have mixed feelings about the draft, which was also held last year, but everyone honors the picks, the student said.
“A lot of the girls respect the draft and stick with those dates,” he said.
The school was still recovering from a cheating scandal in December, when a tutor was busted for allegedly helping a group of students hack into their teachers’ computers to change their grades, KTLA-TV reported.
In January, officials expelled 11 students who were linked to the scandal.

Nozick illustrates and defends the entitlement theory in a famous thought-experiment involving that hot senior bitch on the swim team, Rachel Godina. Imagine a society in which the distribution of wealth fits a particular structure or pattern favored by a non-entitlement conception of justice – suppose, to keep things simple, that it is an equal distribution, and call it D1. Nozick’s opponent must of course concede that this distribution is just, since he's probably a total beta and Nozick has gracefully allowed him to determine it. Now suppose that among the members of this society is that totally fckin smoking Rachel Godina with the huge rack. She has as a condition of going to prom that she will go only if each person who wants to take her to prom bets an amount of cash money in a special box, the contents of which will go to her. Suppose further that over the course of her four years in this stupid fuckin prison that is brainwashing us, one million dudes decide to Take A Gamble and bet hard skrilla for a chance to take her to the prom. The result will be a new distribution, D2, in which Godina now has $250,000, a lot more Coin than anyone else – a distribution which thereby breaks the original pattern established in D1. Now, is D2 just? Is Godina a huge fuckin bitch who needs to give me my fucking money back you stupid whore. The answer to the first question, Nozick says, is clearly “Yes.” For everyone in D1 was, by hypothesis, entitled to what he had; there is no injustice in the starting point that led up to D2. Moreover, everyone who gave up their Hard Earned Big Ones in the transition from D1 to D2 did so voluntarily, and thus has no grounds for complaint (unless they lost to fuckin greg mcdyver you fuckin rich idiot); and those who did not want to pay to take Godina to prom play still have all thier money, so they have no grounds for complaint either. But then no one has any grounds for a complaint of injustice; and thus there is no injustice.
