[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Same year, but HS in New York, and hell no, we never did anything that disgusting. Sounds like a southern/midwestern thing.[/quote] And, yet, some of the East Coast respondents here said they had one. (I grew up in a diverse Midwestern Chicago suburb and it never would have flown either). I think it's more about the narrow locale of the schools and the particular people in your PTA/Student govt and whether they had heard of such an event (and whether they had any sort of consciousness to think better of it) rather than it being a specifically regional thing. There were a lot of disgusting, clueless things in the 80s and early 90s--whenever I have gone back to look at tv/movies wondering whether there are any to show my kids I'm struck by the clueless sexism/racism/homophobia of so many that I just didn't notice as a teen.
