There was a HS prom in Ma. that was shut down recently because the DJ played the radio version of "Caroline", which I had never heard of, and they kids started singing the real lyrics. Lots of N and F words but it seems to be pretty common among the youts and these were mainly white kids I believe. Ridiculous!
"Organizers shut a Wenham high school junior prom down early last Saturday after multiple students were heard yelling the “N-word” during a song, school officials said.”
Superintendent Eric Tracy told Hamilton-Wenham Regional High School families that the school’s junior prom ended early on April 28 because multiple students were heard yelling the racial slur.
WCVB said “Caroline” by the artist Aminé was the song playing at the time of the incident.
The superintendent said the high school’s principal, Bryan Menegoni, made the decision to end the prom early and address all of the students directly.
School officials opened an investigation immediately after the incident, police have also been called into the investigation.
The superintendent said detractors put the blame on whoever decided to play the song.
“All music played at the prom was radio appropriate as it is a standard of the DJ before being hired,” Tracey wrote in his email.
WCVB reported that a clean and appropriate version of the “Caroline” song was played at the school dance.
The unedited version of the song contains several profanities as well as the racial slur that was heard shouted at the prom."
