Today’s student activism news: High schoolers at Ursuline and Cardinal Newman, two Catholic high schools in California, think it’s freakin’ unfair that administrators canceled their prom due to the fact that students were freaking on the dance floor. To express their outrage, they’re showing up at school in promwear this week.
Surely you’ve heard of other creative feats of student activism this past school year. MoJo, Campus Progress, and WireTap want to hear about them in time for the Hellraisers, our first annual student activism awards.
