ANN ARBOR, Mich., April 29 (UPI) -- A high school senior in Ann Arbor, Mich., said his unconventional prom proposal led to suspensions for him and 12 of his lacrosse teammates.
Kristoff Wennersten said he wanted to do something special to ask fellow senior Carolyn Campbell to attend the prom, so he convinced his teammates to bare their backsides and paint the words "Will You Go To The Prom With Me? Yes or No?" on their rears during a varsity soccer game, the Ann Arbor (Mich.) News reported Tuesday.
Campbell signaled her agreement by touching the lower back of the teammate with "Yes" painted on his posterior.
However, Huron athletic director Dottie Davis said the lacrosse players were suspended for one day of school, barred from a undetermined number of games and ordered to perform 20 hours of community service.
"Inappropriate is inappropriate," Davis said. "It disrespects women, and that's the clear message we need to have the students understand -- what may be fun to them isn't necessarily fun to everyone else."
