FINDLAY, Ohio -- A northwest Ohio teenager is beginning a suspension imposed by his Christian school because he attended another high school's prom with his girlfriend.
Officials at Heritage Christian School in Findlay had warned 17-year-old Tyler Frost that he would be suspended and prohibited from attending graduation if he went to the dance over the weekend.
Frost says he didn't think going to the dance was wrong even though his fundamentalist Baptist school forbids dancing, rock music and hand-holding.
Frost didn't go to school Monday. Instead, he's heading to New York with his girlfriend where they'll do an interview with the CBS "Early Show" on Tuesday.
The teen says he's now getting Facebook and e-mail messages from around the world.
