[quote=Anonymous]I asked my older cousin about this because I was curious. He graduated in '93 from a TX HS. He said it wasn't called a slave auction at his school, it was instead called a Stud Auction.

Male students from every grade were nominated by their classmates and the top X number were then auctioned off (usually the most popular and good looking guys were nominated). People in the community could bid on them and the money went to the school into each grade's fund that was then used on the big graduation trip once they were seniors.

He said "now that I think about, it was pretty fked up because most of the time it was 40 and 50 something women bidding on these buff teen boys to do odd jobs around the house for them."   :shock:

He also said that by the time my other cousin, his younger sister, graduated from there in '97, the auction had stopped because there were too many instances of the unpopular kids being nominated as a joke where no one would bid on them.  :oops:

I graduated from a HS in VA in '00 and we had a kissing booth once as a fund raiser. [/quote]
