I think you should look into the mormon university BYU and BYU-idaho.. they have expelled numerous students for having people of the opposite sex in their dorm after 10pm or all sorts of crazy things..
One kid actually created a mormon missionary calendar where they were shirtless, and BYU refused to give him his diploma...

When you take your kids out of the public wrelm.. you're subjected to the rules of the few that own and run the joint...

We are not talking about a University where the students are of "legal" age to contract.

We are talking about a high school - and doing things that high school students do. Plus the fact that the Principal of this boys schools SIGNED OFF on him going - THEN came back and said no.

I'd handle this case pro bono if I were there.

hmmm.. I would like to see how that case pans out.. because it certainly would set a precedence... and we are a nation that uses common law in determining future cases...

He was a minor when he signed it so it is not a legal contract and therefore not enforceable. If it was me, I'd argue I was coerced and threatened with Hell if I didn't sign it. With that said, I would accept it as a contract if the parents signed it.

All schools should forbid these activities.

It seems like a high percentage of fundamentalist schools turn out prostitutes, strippers, druggies, kids that can't grasp science in college, and even serial killers.

But not at Landover Baptist - glory!

If you have grown up in a Christian home that believes in the Holy Bible, then most certainly, you have limited yourself to chaperoned dating until the age of 21. If you are truly saved, it is not until your 21st birthday, that the thought of dating someone without adult supervision would even enter your mind.

These tips are for Christian men, age 21 or older. If you are truly saved, you are looking for a woman who will serve you and who loves the Lord as much as you do. You are looking for a woman who has kept herself pure for her future husband and for the Lord Jesus Christ. You are looking for a woman who knows how to cook and sew, a woman who can keep house. You are looking for a woman who will not squander your income or lean toward gossip. You are looking for a woman who will submit and obey, for there is no other way for a marriage to honor God without following the strict Biblical principles that God has laid out for us in the Bible.


If you have found such a creature and she is not bobbed of hair, nor wont for excess in make-up or lewd attire, then you must prepare yourself for a first date. Here are a few tips to get you prepared for your first date.



GODLY SECRETS TO DATING SUCCESS



1. COMB YOUR HAIR
Head lice are very common among Christian men, especially Pentecostals. Although it is a normal and natural blessing from God to have head lice, you should certainly wash your hair before your date if only for the reason to avoid the temptation of putting your arm around the young lady while lifting to scratch your head.


2. PRAY
Spend the day before your date with at least 6-hours of solitary prayer in a prayer-closet or a confined area. Ask the Lord to guide your words and actions. Ask Jesus to help you control your lust and pray that you will have a nightly emission before the date, thus making it easier for your carnal mind to operate on a level that is strictly spiritual. Do not masturbate in your prayer-closet unless you are thinking about Jesus. Click here for more detailed spiritual guidance on masturbation.
3. PURCHASE A RING
Visit a jewelry store and purchase a diamond ring. For the Christian man, every date is a potential mate. If she is the right gal, you will want to pop the question as soon as possible. It is always handy to have the engagement ring available.

4. RECITE VERSES
When you are on the date, use awkward moments of silence to quote scripture, or sing a favorite hymn. All women are impressed with such things. If she is not woo'd by this, it is a sign that she might be possessed by a demon. Take her to your church and drop her off by the back gate with a note to the pastor taped to her forehead. Be sure to secure her to a tree or post using chains or rope so that she won't get away during the night.

5. SPRUCE UP!
Wear Christian cologne. The only Christian cologne available is "Betty Bowers' The Essence Of Christian Men." If you do not have any Christian cologne, rub your face in a Bible until you smell like the pages.

6. TAKE HER TO VISIT GOD
The best place for a first date is church. Oh, how impressed your sweetheart will be when she finds out you are taking her to Sunday evening services! Then, a romantic dinner at Denny's!

7. GRILL HER FAITH
Use the time at the restaurant to find out if your sweetheart is really saved. Question her salvation at least 15 times. Make sure she knows the exact day and hour (and preferably the exact minute) she met Jesus.

8. SQUELCH YOUR PASSION
If you have not had a nightly emission before your date, make certain that you take extra precaution. Use an ace bandage or knitting yarn to tie your penis back against your stomach or underneath your hiney. If you tuck instead of tie, make sure that the tip of your penis does not curl back far enough to enter the hole in your hiney where you go poopy out of - otherwise you might accidentally sodomize yourself and inadvertently become a homosexual.

9. PRACTICE YOUR LINES
Some Christian phrases that will help you "woo" the lesser sex are, "I'm almost as crazy about you as I am about Jesus," "Your long hair is the glory of your humility (I Corinthians 11: 11-15)," and "God broke the mold when he made your sweet face."

10. KEEP THE PASSION SUPPRESSED
If the bandage work on your penis fails in the slightest bit, excuse yourself for the men's room and re-adjust the harnessing.

11. AVOID TOUCHING!
Make certain that there is no personal contact (PC) on this first date. Even if she has said "yes" to marriage, it is highly recommended that you refrain from even holding hands for at least two years until the courtship is over and you are whisked away on your honeymoon!


Follow these dating tips for Christian men and you are sure to find a life partner that is suitable, submissive, and steadfast.

He had to.

The Dixie Chicks were already booked.

We really appreciated him standing in.

Just say no. Yep, that's the answer to all the world's problems.

"If only everyone thought like me..."
"Just Say No" didn't work in the garden of Eden, and it doesn't work any better today.

Nothing will change about human nature until hormones are completely legislated out of existence.

Write your congressman.

Do you take your political ques from musicians?

I had a musician for a roommate once. I finally had to toss him out for not paying his rent. He made the house smell funny too. Think I'll get my insightful political commentary from the traditional sources. Thanks just the same.
