I can't believe this!!! Oh wait, this is America, nevermind!

After weeks of not having anything to write about or having anything worth writing about, I come upon a story that I simply cannot just read and not write about. An Ohio Christian school tells a student that he will be suspended if he took his girlfriend to her prom.

Tyler Frost a senior at Heritage Christian School in northwest Ohio, dared to challenge the school for his rights to do whatever he wanted to do during non school hours.

The school in turn suspended him for attending the dance, now he won't be allowed to take his final exams on time or graduate with the rest of his class. What the hell!?!

I'm sorry. I simply can't believe that a so called Christian school would threaten a student with such drastic action. This angers me to no end. This is yet another reason why so many Christians get heckled for being "radical" and "uptight".

The first story can be found here and the updated one here.

That's stupid. I don't think a school, private or public, should be able to control what its students do outside of school.

Well, he knew what he was getting into when he signed up for the school. Whether what the school does is right or wrong, he made a decision to attend. He needs to take accountability for his actions as well.
