EmeryJ said...Prom night is for everyone to enjoy and have fun with people their age. However, for Tyler Frost, after fun is a nightmare. Tyler Frost has been busy making headlines as a high school senior. The young Tyler Frost has gotten himself into national headlines for being suspended and then suing his high school. Heritage Christian, the private school he attends, had forbid him from attending his girlfriend's prom – she attends public school – and he went anyway. The school makes all students sign a contract, like they were getting personal loans, in which they must swear not to dance, hold hands, listen to rock 'n' roll, or enjoy themselves. Tyler Frost says he has no regrets, and since the dance took place on the weekend, the school has credit repair to do for suspending him.
