An American High School says it won't allow one of its students to bring his granny to his prom dance.
18 year old Bryce Maine asked his grandmother to his graduation ball in Eufaula High School in Alabama, because she had never been to a prom.
It's been a big talking point on local TV in Alabama.

Catherine Maine had already bought her dress, when the school said no.
The school authorities were concerned the granny may bring alcohol and give it to underage students.

The decision has sparked a social media campaign with the hashtag Let Nanny Go To Prom, with some people calling for President Trump to "make Prom great again".
