And whatever happens after prom is what can happen any other night of the week.
Music is a large part of my life, so I have indeed listened to a wide variety of artists including many rock singers and bands; but most of the ones I like are singers and rock groups of a supposed bygone era that sang about love, commitment, and faith. Their lyrics weren't slammed with vulgarity or rebellious statements.

Have you listened to some of the rock and rap artists? The rap and hip-hop craze of the past 15 years or so has made multi-millionaires out of gang members, drug dealers, and hoodlums. Every other word is blatant profanity or slurs that have to be censored when it is played on the radio or performed on TV.

Liberals like to talk down about people who supposedly use hate speech. The odd thing is they support rappers that shout hate messages and profanity in their songs about women, white people, and police officers.

Where do you get your assumptions from, I have to ask. As a matter of fact Yikes, no I do NOT listen to rap or hip hop, not a fan. Vulgarity? Rebellious statements? Come ON here, what era ARE you from? Seriously, this is absurd even for you. It's called "voicing your opinion" & it's done in every act or thing said. It's also called "speaking for yourself". Yikes, I'm starting to think you were born in say the early 1900's & have been reincarnated as a puritan on this forum.

Extreme Christians are fairly amusing... but the parents of that boy were stupid enough to send him to that school so they should abide by the rules or leave it if they have now changed their mind.

All schools should forbid these activities.

Even I like some rock music if it's clean or Christian-based, but most of the rock and rap of today is harsh, vulgar, and politically-motivated. If anybody wants to debate me on this all they have to do is have a look at bands like Green Day or rappers like Kanye West.

Hand-holding and kissing are perfectly fine among heterosexual couples but young people at impressionable ages should not be engaging in this openly, especially at a school where you are there to learn.
Another one who wants to dictate what people do.

This is the problem with today's conservatism, especially since it co-opted religious conservatives. On one side of their mouth, they proclaim a love of freedom and the individual; on the other side they are dictating what individuals can and cannot do in their private lives.

Oh, by the way, humans become sexually mature at the time they're in high school. They're "impressionable" to raging hormones, and regardless of your opinion, this biological fact can't be stopped.

There are no assumptions, only facts.

It is called living and experiencing life.

You, on the other side of the coin, can assume all you want about me and my beliefs. Maybe I'm starting to think that you are just a spoiled little child on this site expressing your leftist beliefs from the safe haven of your parents' house and their personal computer.

Actually, at this point I wish I DID live at my parents, maybe then I'd have some money leftover from my paychecks. Nope, sorry Yikes, I'm a female liberal who just turned 38 on Friday, sorry to squash your hopes. I didn't assume you were from the early 1900's, that would be completely illogical to assume someone who was born in say 1900 was still alive, don't you think?

They have the right to set rules within state law. I don't know if this case violates any law, but private shools are subject to regulation as well.
