Tyler Frost, I want you to go to that prom

Tyler Frost, I really want you to go to that prom. And I hope your principal soon realizes that when he signed off on your permission slip from the other school, he in effect gave you the permission to go.

AFTER signing the permission slip provided by the school holding the prom (Tyler's girlfriend's school), Tyler's principal went to the school board which stated that he will be suspended from school if he takes his girlfriend to her school's prom.

I saw this story on Yahoo, and then looked at the local story here at this next link. If you're interested, this is a good place to post a comment:

As for the people at Tyler's Christian school, I wonder how this experience will affect Tyler's future decisions about faith and church? Instead of congratulating a fine student on hard work well done, they're ready to boot him and tarnish his entire high school experience and memories - just because he asked permission to take his girlfriend to her school's senior prom.

Good for Tyler's family, who is standing by their son. I'll be following this story.
