The principal at Withrow High School in Cincinnati has canceled this year's prom in order to punish students for a prank.Sharon Johnson says students used social media last month to plan a massive water balloon fight at lunch. She says staffers concerned about safety found out and tried to prevent the prank, but 150 to 175 students went ahead with it. Johnson says she has received only a few phone calls from upset parents.
