Don't go to prom, school tells teen

[tbyg52]

A senior at Heritage Christian School will be suspended Monday for attending Findlay High School's prom because the event involves dancing and rock music.

A Heritage School committee decided Wednesday that Tyler Frost, 17, will be suspended if he attends Saturday's dance because the school's policy forbids dancing, rock music, hand holding and kissing.

Frost plans to attend prom anyway with his girlfriend, a senior at Findlay High.

He would have received his diploma May 24 from the 84-student fundamentalist Baptist school at 2000 Broad Ave. in Findlay.

But Frost will now be suspended from classes and receive an “incomplete” on remaining assignments, according to Principal Tim England.

1. You go to their school, you play by their rules.

Too bad kid.

Maybe he should have stuck with public schools.

2. Latest is that he's willing to take the suspension...

Best of both worlds. He gets to skip school AND go to the prom. He gets to take his finals and get a diploma. Kid's a hero!
