Students at an Albuquerque, N.M., school decided that communism should be the theme for their prom — now dubbed "Prom-munism."
The decision by seniors at Cottonwood Classical Preparatory School has upset some members of the school.
One student who spoke to local CBS affiliate KRQE, but asked to remain anonymous, said "I hope that Cottonwood would realize the seriousness of having a very powerful and destructive idea as the theme for a prom."

This is a seriously offensive idea. A prom theme in honor of an ideology responsible for 100 million deaths in the 20th century alone.
No doubt next year's theme will be "Fun in the Third Reich."
Just make sure there's only one roll of toilet paper for the entire evening.
No dresses for the girls, or suits for the boys can be purchased from a capitalist business.
No gay couples will be admitted.
No inter-racial couples will be admitted.
Only home-grown corsages & boutonnieres will be allowed.
No limos.
For the pre-prom meal, only 30% of the kids will be fed.
My tag line....
If people are going to have a hissie fit about “South of the Border” theme parties, then I think conservatives have more than a right to have a hissie fit about this.
There will be blood... a la Stephen King’s “Carrie”
I was looking at a dating website.
Among the match questions were things like ‘do you prefer to date someone of your race/skin color’. There are also questions like ‘would you date a Catholic, Jew, Muslim’ and even ‘would your date someone who’d faith is central to their life’. Then there were the questions ‘Is Communism good in theory if not always in practice’ and ‘Has Capitalism been bad for society’?
The libs who proudly state they won’t discriminate on the basis of skin color will readily thumbs down any prospective match who adheres to religion or believes that Capitalism has been a net positive thing in society (that development and innovation be damned). And then to champion Communism in this day and age? And these are among women in their mid-30s-50s.
This culture is screwed.
They can dress up as work camp prisoners. They can turn off the heat, drink dirty water and have no food. The highlight of the night will be lining up to a bathroom that has no toilet paper. It’ll be fun!
Their prom clothing will need to be issued to them, slowly and inefficiently, with no regard for style or size. Perhaps waiting four hours to be handed a pair of size 8 shoes for his size 10 feet would change a few minds.
Also, the music will have to suck.
And all the clothes are the same. Their dates will be assigned.
Excellent.
I’m starting to like this theme. It could be very educational for the kids...
Cabbage soup could be the main course at dinner.
Ah... Swimvare
I was thinking it would have to be a very drab event, with no tuxes or fancy, colorful dresses. I think you pretty much nailed it.
Whoever counts the votes will be prom queen.
“Whoever counts the votes will be prom queen.”
About 50 yrs ago I took a year of Russian in college. The professor was from Russia. One day when we came to class we learned that Kruschev had been replaced. So instead of Russian that day he explained how Russian elections worked. He said is brother was in charge of counting the votes in a certain district. It was not only his job to count the votes but to change the votes....those rascally citizens would write in “Mickey Mouse” or other names that just couldn’t appear in the final tally, which of course had to be 95% plus for the party choice. I enjoyed his class very much but he had no sense of humor at all.
Folks should feel free to attend the party dressed in a funny way as Nazis, Jews in Dachau, or KKK in hoods.
Or is it only Communism that is okay on campus?
“Cabbage soup could be the main course at dinner.”
With half a potato and a piece of lack bread.
On the bright side, they all get a fifth of vodka.
When I was a High Schooly back in the mid-60s I was selected to go to Boy’s State in Sacramento. It was supposed to be a typical “kids in a building simulating state government exercise” but it was boring and somewhat loosely controlled. I linked up with a couple of characters (one was the son of the actor Bob Cumming) and the three or four of us seized control of the California state government and formed the “People’s Democratic Socialist Paradise and Worker’s Party of Burbank” and had a ball partying and making a mess of all their scheduled events. We met with Governor Jerry Brown (the first one). And gave our mock PDSPWPD salute and he had no idea what to make of us.
We had a lot of fun and even won gold pins for our very creative and funny interpretation of state government. Wasn’t a commie among us but we had a wonderful time mocking the whole system.
Car keys and money should be collected at the door, and then doled out according to some arbitrarily perceived “need” on the way out.
