Findlay,Ohio - 17-year-old Tyler Frost goes to the Heritage Christian School which is a fundamentalist Baptist school in northwest Ohio. Each student, and their parents, are required to sign a contract with the school that they understand the school's policy regarding dancing, rock music, public displays of affection, drinking/drugs, etc. As the school does not allow dancing, the school does not have its own prom. Tyler's girlfriend goes to another school and plans to go to her prom as her date.
Heritage principal Tim England says that Tyler is facing suspension if he goes to the prom and will receive an "incomplete" for the remainder of his school work which will interfere with his graduating on May 24.
Is it right for Heritage to impose its rules outside of school?
Frost's stepfather, Stephan Johnson, says the school's rules should not apply outside the classroom. I have to say, I agree. I don't see how a school can say their rules apply outside of school or sanctioned events of that school.
