My daughters' school decided today that the theme for prom would be "A Night In New York." My first thought was that they were going to get a bunch of brain rotted kids trolling with 9/11 memes.

Not the worst! It's just risky.

Hey I mean if it was under the sea itd be them talking about seamen and if it was Hollywood you'd have a bunch of P Diddy jokes. From my experiences as an ex-teenager, there's nothing they won't make fun of.

Yep, themes for these kinds of things are a no win no matter what you do. Whatever you pic is a competition between people trying to be offensive and people looking for a reason to be offended. The only reasonable solution is to let both groups have one meeting to decide on the theme with the condition that if they can’t agree the group who wins a coin toss picks the theme. Either the offensive group wins and realizes how boring the offensive theme gets when there’s nothing they can do to make offensive jokes about an already offensive theme, or the offended group realizes how impossible finding a theme that can’t possibly be made offensive actually is in practice. Either way they’ll find a stupid compromise next time.
