I had a hard time believing that the reporter missed the story within which she was reporting. Take a look for yourself and see if you catch it:
Out of 352 students, 18 wore an outfit that didn't fit the dress code. And 17 of those 18 - when choosing their own punishment - chose to be paddled, rather than take a three-day suspension. I'll repeat: 17 of 18 chose to be paddled. Now, it doesn't say that if you chose the paddling, you got to go to the prom, but I'm thinking that's not the case. I want interviews from the other 17 explaining why they chose the paddling? Isn't the paddling the story? WTF?
