It's a private school; as such, they are allowed to set their own rules for students.
While I think the whole thing is rediculous, I think the school is entirely in the right in suspending him. Their rules clearly state no dancing, no rock music, no hand-holding, etc. He was warned that violating these rules could result in his suspension. He violated them and was suspended.
If he, or his parents, don't like the school's rules, there's a simple solution: change schools.
He goes to a strict Christian school; what did he think would happen?

However, I dont think the school is in the right for suspending him at all. To my knowledge, schools do not govern ones life outside of the grounds.

Me and the ditsy blonde girl I was partnered with had to show around the new transfer student from Findlay.
Blondie looked confused... "DO...YOU...LIKE...IT...HERE...SO...FAR?" she asked.  "DO...YOU...SPEAK...ENGLISH?" 
After an awkward second or two, I caught on; "Katie," I said, "He's from Findlay; not FinLAND."

You break the rules -> You get caught -> You pay for it.
Simple as that for me. Quote:

After an awkward second or two, I caught on; "Katie," I said, "He's from Findlay; not FinLAND." | A biker scored a Scandinavian hardbelly on a MC party and after a long swetty round he asked her: Are You finished?
With dreamy eyes and a cute accent the blonde said: No.
Biker thought that this was heaven and took another go at it.
After the second round he asked the same question: Are You finished?
Again the blonde replied: Nope.
After the third round the biker was quite exhausted and again asked: Are You finished?
To his surprise the reply was the same: Nope.
With sheer willpower and stamina the biker took yet another go and after the round he was gasping for air, his heart pumping like crazy, vision blurred, muscles twitching.... With that a bit uncomfortable empty feeling in his boys he once again posed the question: Sug' are You finished???
And the dreamy reply came: Nope honey, I'm Swedish.
Regards

This is just stupid. My mate went to a christian school, they tried to enforce wearing school uniform properly outside of school, including tucked in shirts and wearing blazers, no matter what the temperature was (ie. wearing a blazer home whilst on the bus or walking on a 30c+ degree day).
They then started handing out detentions and suspensions for students OUTSIDE of school grounds not complying, some ended up being heated 'discussions'. I remember one kid and his family getting police involved and the school finally shut up about it.

|  | I'm a tumbler, born under punches | | Join Date: Aug 2006 Location: Northern California | | | I'm not going to argue that this isn't dumb - because it is - but this kid's parents made a decision to send him to a "fundamentalist Baptist" school and the school told him what the consequences would be if he went.
If this was a public school this would be an entirely different story, but it isn't. If he (or his parents) don't like it, then he shouldn't be enrolled there. |

My sister went to a very conservative christian school like that for most of her educational life. They had the same rules, no dancing, no rock music, etc. However she took dance lessons nearly the entire time she went to this school, listened to rock, r&b, and pop music too. The principle did not like it much but because she was not doing it on school grounds there was nothing legally they could do about it.
This whole ordeal with the prom IMO is about the Church trying to over extend its use of power and make people obey their rules at all times regardless of where you are.

Again, the family GAVE the school that power by enrolling their son there and agreeing to abide by the school's discipline policy. |
