Christian school tells boy to skip prom

[SoCalNative]

FINDLAY, Ohio - A student at a fundamentalist Baptist school that forbids dancing, rock music, hand-holding and kissing will be suspended if he takes his girlfriend to her public high school prom, his principal said.

Despite the warning, 17-year-old Tyler Frost, who has never been to a dance before, said he plans to attend Findlay High School's prom Saturday.

2. Sounds like the kid could use a new school

One that supports healthy development and appreciates the concepts of RIGHTS.

Oh, and didn't their god supposedly give the gift of Free Will? So they don't like their own god's decisions either!

3. How do these people breed? Cloning?

4. Some people want our tax dollars to subsidize schools like this

They are a private school, and as such, are free to have this policy, but our tax money should never have to subsidize it.

7. Isn't this the "next generation" that they're trying to out-breed us with?

Way to alienate your kids and encourage rebellion against your tired-ass fundamentalism, guys!

Keep it up! :hi:
