2015年3月28日What’s the harm in a prom draft
For Jessie Harris, a sophomore at Corona del Mar High School, getting drafted for the prom wasn’t a big deal.
Her boyfriend, a junior, is friends with the rest of the guys who participated in the now controversial Prom Draft www.blackhawksteamproshop.com/Jonathan_Toews_Jersey an NFL style method of selecting dates that has gained both praise and criticism from a national audience.
But the draft hasn’t always been controversial. For several years now, groups of junior and senior boys have participated in the tradition, which this year was complete with an official "commissioner" and jerseys with girls’ last names on them.

She admitted that in some instances, girls can be picked for the draft based on their appearances, but that’s not the sole reason Patrick Kane Authentic Jersey for their selection.
"It is all just a fun way to decide who you will be going to prom with," she said. "It is not meant to harm those who are picked and I do not believe that it does."
Harris said girls don’t find out what order they were picked in and can say no if they don’t like their date. The boys are still expected to come up with a creative "promposal" to officially ask them to the dance, she said. The boys stated that girls were never ranked and anyone who was left out of the draft was ineligible to attend anyway, perhaps because they already had a date.
"The purpose of the draft was not to rank girls, but rather to prevent the confusion and conflict that occurs when Marian Hossa Womens Jersey two people attempt to select the same date," they wrote.

"I am sure that the intention of this ’draft’ is not to be harmful, but it may be," she wrote. "It is not ok for any student to be objectified or judged in any way."
