Communist prom theme chosen for U.S. high school: ‘Prom-munism’
School Votes for Communism-Themed Dance Dubbed 'Prom-Munism'
Showing up emaciated from the Gulag swill is one way to get girls’ attention.
Or the forced labor crews in Siberia could cool down the heat. It is New Mexico.
I believe this is true.
I sincerely doubt that these student have ever even been taught about the atrocities committed under communist regimes.
They've probably never been told anything other than how wonderful communism would be if only "the right people" were running things.
When you get an education from gov’t schools you are taught that communism wasn’t such a bad thing. That it lead to various positive things.... I can see schools idolizing Stalin because he was an ally in defeating Hitler. Or that he brought USSR steel production and electricity
According to head administrator Sam Obenshain, some of the emails the school received were threatening.
I have yet to EVER see one of these when they've been mentioned in a news story...

“Some people felt like even the choice of the theme, ‘prom-munism,’ was intended to make light of atrocities that were brought about because of the communist regimes. That was never our students intent.”
No one really believes this.
If these kids had ever even remotely seen Communism and its effect, the thought of a "prom-unism" would never have entered their mind.
I guess that old “Under the Sea” theme just didn’t do it for them...
Then they didn't know about those outrages because YOU didn't teach them, Sam. You should be fired, you bastard.
First thing they would do is depose the prom King and Queen.
They can hold it, but every kid has to spend 6 hours in their own KGB Lubyanka prison and endure interrogations. Half the kids will be disappeared and won’t be going home to Mom & Dad. The other half will emerge emotionally scarred for life.
New theme is 50 Shades of Porn
Good grief. I went to public schools in Albuquerque and this crap would have never seen the light of day in the 60’s. Half the people on our street were spooks, nuc scientists or math/electronics whizzes. It’s also where i got to see my first laser.
Communism = open mindedness
Wow! I learn something new every day. Not. On the video, Blondie has no idea what the heck she’s talking about and the two dweebs on either side of her agreeing with the gobbly goop she said have no clue what she said, either. To think they’ll be voting next year.
They should have picked “Socialism.” Their teachers and the media would have said, “Cool!” Then, students could dress up as International Socialists and National Socialists.
They’re clueless. Consider, though - if their teacher is 26 years of age, he/she was born in the year that world Communism dropped onto the ash heap of history. They can’t forget what they never learned. Perhaps the public outrage will serve as the clue they never got.
What the heck was this all about?
Everyone gets a Prada gown or all have to go to Kohls???
All three of the kids interviewed mentioned that their school was either a part of, or the curriculum was related to, the International Baccalaureate, whatever that is. They also each mentioned that they believed in “open mindedness.”
Which leads me to want to know what the International Baccalaureate is up to. As for the open mindedness, empty-mindedness seems more likely.
They appeared to have no clue about the history of communism.
