Glad I didn't go to that school. Rules are rules but.....there are exceptions to EVERY rule. This dance took place on his own time, with his parents permission. What if it were a wedding. There is a reception with dancing afterwards. Would he be suspended for that or because it is a "religious" ceremony it would be okay. As far as contracts....Donald Trump just let Miss California keep her crown even after breech of contract. We NO longer rule with an iron fist. Not saying it's ok but take ALL things into consideration [behavior, attendance, grades, etc.] In regards to Tyler it's a judgment call and the principal wants to control the situation. [dig deep enough and you know there are skeletons in that principals closet] Graduation is a BIG step in life. Let this Tyler graduate with his class. You'll sleep better knowing you didn't scare this boy for life. WOW!!! Glad I didn’t go to that school. Rules are rules but…..there are exceptions to EVERY rule.

That contract should have no bearing on what that boy does on his own time as long as his parents see no problem with it then why should a school have the right to say different!!

The parents and child agreed "how he should handle himself" within the school. No one can dictate what goes on outside of the school. That is where the parents take over. The contract that England signed to "agree" to allow the child to go to the prom, made the rules nul in void. He said there "may be" ramifications. Get real. Sounds more like a threat than anything. If you are going to follow your so called bible. Then follow the entire thing. This is not an attack on religiuos beliefs.

Yeah, and so did the principal knowingly sign an agreement allowing the boy to attend the dance. That you leave out this fact is quite disgusting. But absolutely predictable.

I do have a problem with the following though: “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. Equating dancing or even breaking a contract with displeasing God is carrying it a bit far, as is the arrogance in believing that because the school committee decides something it necessarily pleases Him I have to say I agree with all of you.

Father hands over money. School provides education. The xtian school principal, Tim England, gave signed permission to attend. Can you tell me what element of contract has been broken here? Yep it's Murka, it's ok to put these fundamentalist yahoos up for ridicule. If they had their way, the whole country would be under their dominionist, ever-probing iron thumb.

This reminds me of an old joke that goes something like this: A pschiatrist was asked if he enjoyed his profession. He replied, Yes, it's very interesting. The only problem is that you keep meeting so many sick people. (!) If you enroll at a strict religious school, why would you be surprised that they have strict religious rules?

This is illustrative of something that has been going on for ages. Contracts in general have been allowed to be broken when ‘something’ comes up that gives the signer ‘second thoughts’. We take contracts too lightly because there is always some lawyer willing to take the issue to court. This is an attack on an organization that just happens to be a Christian school enforcing its rules on someone who is knowingly breaking those rules. Bottom line: a contract is a contract. If its provisions are not upheld and enforced then the contract loses all authority and meaning. Liberal or not, this tenant must be followed. Anyone breaking a contract should face penalties. Period. Why is this being turned into a Liberal vs Christian thing? This is more than an attack by liberals on Christians. This is illustrative of something that has been going on for ages.
