I caught an article this morning about a student at the local Christian school who is getting resistance for wanting to attend prom at the public Findlay High School. The religious school has a code of conduct which notes the guy could be suspended for attending prom because of the rock music and dancing. If he is involved in sex or booze then he’ll get expelled.  Seriously? The fact that we’re even talking about this makes my blood boil.

The news has been picked up by AP. Plus it has hit Reddit and Fark so it won’t be long before it’s fodder for late night.  Two of the Toledo stations were even talking on their evening news about how the story is the most commented on their websites today.

I realize there are codes of conduct and signatures but when will folks learn you can’t force morality through silly rules? Influence where you can, but don’t control, then get the hell out of the way! Religion can be dangerous sometimes.

To make light of the situation, I’m breaking out the only animated .GIF I’ve ever created. It was created sometime around the 1996 ~ 1997 time frame back when I was in college, had spiky hair and couldn’t dance. As if I can dance now.

Enjoy your weekend folks. And Tyler Frost, enjoy your senior prom!
