Miss America has suggested officials at a Pennsylvania high school reconsider their decision to suspend a student for approaching her at a school assembly and asking her to be his prom date, the beauty queen said on Saturday.
The disciplinary action taken by school administrators in York against the 18-year-old senior made national headlines, and generated sympathy for the young man on social media.
A video of Central York High School senior Patrick Farves approaching 2014 Miss America Nina Davuluri on Thursday at a school assembly was posted on a local newspaper’s website.
“I was flattered by the gesture, although I am unfortunately unable to attend due to my travel schedule,”
Davuluri said in a statement
“I later learned of the disciplinary action taken and reached out to the school in hopes that they will reconsider their decision,”
she said
