Miss America Asks School To Reconsider Student's Punishment

STEVE INSKEEP, HOST:

Good morning, I'm Steve Inskeep.

When Miss America visited the school, he asked her to the prom. She can't go and the school punished him for asking. But the York Dispatch says Miss America asked the school to reconsider the suspension. So Miss America will not be by his side but is on his side, which is almost as good.
