Miss America Nina Davuluri says it's bad enough a Pennsylvania high school student was rejected by Miss America, the school shouldn't punish the class clown for it. While the rest of the world is slapping the kid on the back for getting up the nerve to ask Miss America to the prom, the school wants to slap his wrist with a suspension.

Miss America Nina Davuluri said she contacted Central York High School to ask officials to rethink the three-day in-school suspension they gave to 18-year-old Patrick Farves for approaching her at a school assembly and asking her to be his prom date.

The York Dispatch reported that Nina Davuluri posted a statement on the Miss America Organization's Facebook page "Yesterday, a student invited me to prom and gave me a flower while I was giving a presentation in York, Pennsylvania. I was flattered by the gesture. Although I am unfortunately unable to attend due to my schedule, I learned of the disciplinary action taken and reached out to the school in hopes that they will reconside. Meeting and interacting with students across the country has been an important and rewarding part of my year as Miss America. I always encourage students to follow their dreams through education, and I'm inspired daily by the enthusiasm and aspirations of the bright young adults I have the pleasure of meeting."

Farves apologized for disrupting Thursday's event. During the Q&A session with Miss America Nina Davuluri, Patrick Farves, 18, broke out the flowers and asked her to the prom. Ah the nerve to approach a pageant princess. Nina Davuluri was talking to students at Central York High School about the importance of diversity and math and science studies.

Davuluri asked if there were any questions and Farve pulled out a purple plastic flower and said, "Miss America, I have a question. Will you go to prom with me?"

Miss America Nina Davuluri ultimately rejected Patrick Farve. Then the school did. His high school suspended him for even asking her. Like it was their place to tell him she was out of his league. Davuluri won the 2014 Miss America crown this past September.

The school knew it was coming. Patrick was known as a class clown. He previewed the joke and it got aroud the school and a school administrator told Patrick not to go ahead 10 minutes before the assembly. But Farves told the media "This is kind of what I do. I'm kind of known for this stuff, just like, pranks, standing out, jokes with my friends. I'm a real goofy and standout character. I had looked at it like, this was a now-or-never type thing. This was a once-in-a-lifetime chance," the student said. "I did it anyway, and I knew I would get in some type of trouble. I can totally understand and respect the disciplinary actions that had to be taken."

So the school gave Patrick Farve 3 days of suspension saying "It is not our practice to discipline a student for asking someone - even Miss America - to a school dance. However, it is our practice to set expectations for student behavior, to communicate those expectations and to ensure those rules are followed within our schools."
