This sounds ridiculous , but you would have to know the attitudes of the students. My daughter’s school did the same thing almost 20 years ago, when I reminded her of that during a conversation, she replied, everybody at the school was laughing at him. Voting for him was a joke.
This is the exact point - the kids know what’s what. They’re actually MOCKING the weird old traditions forced upon them - ‘homecoming queen’, really?
