Students Required to Dress as Branded Products for Entry
Jefferson High’s student council has sparked controversy by announcing this year’s homecoming will be “brought to you by” 37 different sponsors. “We’re preparing kids for the real world of commercialism,” said class president Sarah Wu, modeling the mandatory logo-covered dance tickets. The corporatized event includes:
- A red carpet sponsored by a local mattress store
- “Most Marketable Student” award instead of king/queen
- Slow dances interrupted by 30-second ad reads
Protesters claim the $85 “brand participation fee” violates student rights, while the Pepsi-sponsored math club is calculating the exact monetary value of everyone’s dignity. The highlight will be students forming the Amazon logo with their bodies, though several are holding out for better compensation.
