...huh?!

The news story that i'm still scratching my head over.

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.

Frost, a senior at Heritage Christian School in northwest Ohio, agreed to the school's rules when he signed a statement of cooperation at the beginning of the year, principal Tim England said.

The teen, who is scheduled to receive his diploma May 24, would be suspended from classes and receive an "incomplete" on remaining assignments, England said. Frost also would not be permitted to attend graduation but would get a diploma once he completes final exams. If Frost is involved with alcohol or sex at the prom, he will be expelled, England said.

Ok, I get the sex and alcohol part, but the school suspended one of their own for simply taking his girlfriend to her prom?? But here's the kicker:

"In life, we constantly make decisions whether we are going to please self or please God. (Frost) chose one path, and the school committee chose the other," England said.

Jesus fucking Christ.....he's a hormonal, angst ridden male teenager who probably beats off to a friend's naughty movies, all while listening to AC/DC's "Highway To Hell" every time the 'rents are out of town (you know, like me almost a year ago); you're not training him to become a priest who tells the alter boys to come hither and drop the pants to receive the 'touch of God!'

He's a teenage boy...let him be just that.
