Seniors at Cottonwood Classical Preparatory School in New Mexico have caused a rift in their community.
The students recently voted to have communism be the theme of this year's senior prom, according to the Washington Times.
Multiple students at the school have spoken out against the decision the seniors made.
"I hope that Cottonwood would realize the seriousness of having a very powerful and destructive idea as the theme for a prom," one student told Albuquerque news station KRQE.
As the Washington Times reported, the prom is set to take place in April at an aquarium, a setting that naturally lends itself to more than one less-offensive theme.
The director of Cottonwood Classical Preparatory School said he will speak to the seniors about the potential negativity and issues regarding the "Prom-munism."
"We want to make sure that we honor the students' voices, but at the same time use it as a learning experience for them," Sam Obenshain said.
