Teen Vandal Thinks Prom Incident Has Been Blown Way Out Of Proportion

After vandalizing school property to ask a fellow senior if she’d go to the prom with him, James Tate was suspended and banned from the prom. Over the weekend, his school reversed the decision, and Tate is allowed to attend the event. However. On the Today show this morning, we learned Tate may suffer “alternate consequences.” Mysterious! Tate says, “I think this has been blown completely out of proportion.” He and his prom date, Sonali Rodrigues, looked mildly bemused but also rather tired of the hubbub. Or maybe they just have Senioritis.
