Should high school homecoming courts be done away with?

I saw this story about an unattractive girl who was tricked into thinking she was nominated to the homecoming court at her school.
LINK
The story reminds me of my senior year in high school. My homeroom nominated the weirdest girl in our grade to the homecoming court. There were some mad teachers, but the girl appeared to be cool with it. She participated in the parade and was crowned homecoming queen.
The same thing happened at my school 5 years earlier. They nominated some redneck chick who also won. I remember her wearing jeans out on the football field that night. I think she ended up transferring about a month or two later.
Thoughts?

The girl who won homecoming queen my senior year was basically given it because she had some sort of disorder that left one of her hands really tiny. Like, her whole body was normal but one of her hands was miniature sized, almost like a claw.
She wasn't unattractive, but there were other girls on the court that were just as nice and had as good of personalities, that were definitely hotter.

There are few creatures more evil and cruel than American teenage girls.

No. Don't punish everyone because of the actions of a few.

If we keep isolating kids from shitty situations they'll never learn how to deal with them. Getting rid of a homecoming court isn't going to stop kids from being shitty kids and doing things like you talked about in your OP.
I liken it to the recent bullying issues. Some of it is things we've dealt with for years. Some of it is newer issues because of the emergence of technology such as Facebook. Some of the things that have been created to address it have been very good, especially when it comes to addressing bullying via social media. But some of it has also created issues, especially among children and parents who are unable to distinguish between harmless teasing between kids and full on bullying.

While those c you next Tuesdays suck, is everybody ignoring the extreme kindness that was displayed by the other two girls in the story?
I mean I hate teenage girls as much as anybody, but those two are rockstars.
