This article I actually saw this morning while watching Good Morning America.  I then went to http://gma.yahoo.com/blogs/abc-blogs/minnesota-teen-cant-bring-porn-star-prom-221942746--abc-news.html and located the article.  The story is about a teen from Minnesota who asked several girls at his school to the upcoming prom.  All the classmates that he had asked turned him down.  The teen then went onto Twitter and began asking celebrities, mostly adult film stars, if they would go to the prom with him.  It was stated that the teen asked over 600 adult film stars, and one of them actually responded and accepted his invitation.  The adult film star stated that she would love to go with him because she missed out on going to her own senior prom and she would love to make his prom dream and hers come true.  But school administrators banned the film star from attending the prom. In a statement given from the High School, they said that the adult film stars attendance would be prohibited under their prom procedures because it would be inconsistent with two school district policies. The 19 year old adult film star lives in Los Angeles.  The teen then said that he was going to hold his own prom at his house and that all the students are invited.

This is probably one of the most biased things I have ever read. You know for a fact that the school administrators simply do not want the publicity of having an adult film star at the school event.  Even the teen's mom told the news that she does not see what the girl's profession has to do with anything.  In my opinion, a job is a job. If the teen said that he was bringing a non-pornographic actress to the prom, I am willing to bet that the school would lay out the red carpet, but due to the fact that it is a profession most find to be distasteful, the actress is banned.

I chose to read this article because it couldn't fit the requirement's of the assignment any better.  In my opinion, why should someone be banned from doing something just because they don't agree with their line of work?
