However, this young man is planning to take his girlfriend to the prom at Findlay High School.

His stand, which his parents support, is that while he is at the school he abides by their rules. But he does not feel that the school should have control over what he does in his personal life.

The Christian school is saying that if he attends the prom he will be expelled from school and will not be able to participate in the graduation ceremonies for his class at the end of the month. He will receive his diploma, but he will not be allowed to be a part of the ceremonies.

What do you think? Should he have to abide by the school rules 24/7?
What about if he goes to a wedding reception where they are playing rock music and dancing? Should he be expelled just because he is there? How much authority should the school really have over a student's personal life?

So much legalism...you know what I would say to that. The young man should leave that Christian school and go to a public school where he can be a light and not hid under a bushel at such a legalistic, condemnational school.
