Shenta Knox announced on Twitter on April 26 she was running for prom queen and her girlfriend, Sam Washburn, for prom king because Morton Ranch High School in Texas does not provide two queen slots. The girls said their suspicions increased when they began discounting a series of possible reasons why they had missed out. Eventually the school district told the girls they had indeed been excluded from the court for disciplinary reasons. 'Since me and my girl both wanna be on prom court but MRHS doesn't have 2 queen slots...vote Shenta Knox as prom queen and Sam Washburn as prom 'king' next Monday!'
