Reply #68: That isn't your decision to make.

The court says that it the right amount to award her.

In fact, they did have a prom. Everyone else went to a party, at the same time as the sham party, that she and the few kids in special ed were the only ones excluded from attending. So you are WRONG that there was no prom. The fact that it was not an official school event is a matter of official obfuscation and manipulation.

They knew at that point that if they had a party appeared to be official, they would have more legal problems, but if it appeared to be a private party they could argue that it wasn't a prom, even if it functioned fully as a prom. But if it functioned fully as a prom, then it's a prom. And it's a prom she was deliberately excluded from WHILE they invited to attend a fake event that they lied to her about so that she would believe it was the real prom with only 6 other students.

Real prom = every one in the senior class except the special ed. kids and her. Everyone knew about it, knew to attend it, knew not to tell her about it, kept the secret.

Fake prom = special ed. kids and her. Everyone knew they would be there alone.

It's not real hard to understand, is it?
