Ohio teen expects to be suspended for trip to prom

It may sound too conservative, but taking this news verbatim, the boy is aware, but “didn’t think” that what he did was wrong; that means he is aware of the rule and the consequences. So even if the stepfather files a lawsuit, this may be where his case will fail. What do you think?

FINDLAY, Ohio - An Ohio teenager says he expects to be suspended from a Christian school for attending a public school prom with his girlfriend.

Officials at Heritage Christian School in Findlay had warned 17-year-old Tyler Frost that he would be suspended and prohibited from attending graduation if he went to the Saturday dance. The fundamentalist Baptist school in northwest Ohio forbids dancing, rock music and hand holding.

Frost says he went to the dance because he wanted to experience the prom and didn't think it was wrong.

School officials say he could complete his final exams separately to receive a diploma.

Frost's stepfather says the rules shouldn't apply outside of school and he may take legal action if Frost is suspended.
