2 Students Expelled for Kissing on South Carolina School Bus
COLUMBIA, S.C. — The families of two Richland County high school students kicked out of school for kissing on a school bus are challenging a decision to expel the pair, an attorney said Tuesday.
Dominique Goyner and his girlfriend were expelled by the school board in October for the rest of the academic year, after they sat next to each other on the bus and kissed a few times, said Russell Brown, the boy's attorney.
School officials told Jody Free her son was being removed from school for "sexual misconduct."
"I saw the tape. They kissed maybe two minutes and the rest of bus ride home they leaned back on seat and that was it," Free said. "Had it been anything different, I would have said 'OK you two have to suffer the consequences."'
The district won't comment about the case, but stands by the decisions made by its officials and school board, spokeswoman Theresa Riley said.
A message left for the girl's attorney was not immediately returned Tuesday.
Goyner, who has received awards from Bythewood High School's ROTC, said he knows he was breaking a rule, but was shocked by the response from school officials. He is being home-schooled and hopes the expulsion won't stop him from attending a military academy after graduation.

A boy and a girl kissing? That's just crazy!
They'd have a shot if they were same sex. It could be considered a hate crime or something... :whatever:
-
A suspension or not being allowed to ride the bus, I get. Expelled?
Nah, zero-tolerance policies are just an excuse for administrators not to think. How nice for them... :loser:

^exactly. I really, really hate this context-free bullsh*t.

I really don't understand why schools pass out condoms to middle schoolers and sneer at the thought that maybe they should keep in their pants and the legs closed till marriage but when it is something "normal" like kissing, they get all pissy and Church Lady. No wonder kids are confused.

Public Schools (and Liberalism) were never known for being rational.

Well, after slickwillie redefined what "is" is, I'm not really surprised that teachers and school administrators are confused as well. :mental:

OK, not that I agree with being expelled for kissing, but do you people realize what happens on busses these days? I won't let my kids ride the bus. Oral sex is not uncommon, not to mention smoking, drugs and weapons. I can understand the no kissing rule. I think the punishment was a bit extreme, but I don't condemn the rule.

^Yes, it's shocking. A friend of mine drives a bus. The stories!!!!

I know what you mean. I was on a bus where some girl was ummmm being a giver with some guy. It is crazy what goes on. They really should have aides on ALL of the buses to watch them.
