I've been thinking about this for a day or so (not constantly of course!)...and while I understand his motive for cancelling the prom...and the disgust of the school he runs being associated with the kind of elitist bullshinguard that accompanies it, I think he did the wrong thing for two reasons.
1. It punishes normal prom goers. For some, not having a prom is something that will bother them for their entire lives. It's a special event for high schoolers.
2. It won't change what goes on anyway.
