The Prom is no place for misogyny.

Lil' Wayne and his "bitches" and "hos" will not be welcome at the Arcadia High prom.

Thanks to the school's Women's Health and Issues Club, administrators have agreed to ban 20 songs with misogynistic themes and lyrics. The group originally wanted 300 songs eliminated from the prom playlist, the Pasadena Star-News reported.

"Some of the songs call women 'bitches' and 'hos,' or refer to them as objects and treat them like animals. We find that offensive," student Madeline Conrique told the newspaper.

Conrique says the club wasn't trying to be a buzzkill. They just wanted to remove songs that denigrate or sexually exploit women.

Senior Lani Luo told the newspaper that "We are not trying to push for abstinence. We are just trying to advocate for respect."

The Pasadena Star-News obtained a list of banned songs:

  1. "Shake" - Pitbull
  2. "Get Buck in Here" - P.Diddy
  3. "Drop" - Timbaland
  4. "Low" - Flo Rida, ft. T-Pain
  5. "One More Drink" - Ludacris
  6. "Starstruck" - Lady Gaga
  7. "Go Girl" - Pitbull
  8. "Right Round" - Flo Rida
  9. "Smack That" - Akon
  10. "Lollipop" - Lil' Wayne
  11. "Get Low" - Lil' Jon
  12. "Turning Me  On" - Keri Hilson ft. Lil' Wayne
  13. "Rockin' That Thang" - The Dream
  14. "Beep" - Bobby Valentino ft. Young Jac
  15. "Boom, Shake, Drop" - DJ Laz
  16. "Turn Me On" - Kevin Little
  17. "I’m In Miami" - LMFAO
  18. "A Mille" - Lil' Wayne
  19. "Bojangles" - Pitbull
  20. "Put that Thang Down" - Ying Yang Twins
