"I don't think it's fair, obviously, that they canceled prom," said senior Alyssa Johnson of Westbury. "There are problems with the prom, but I don't think their reasons or the actions they took solved anything."

IT removed their association with your debauchery.. and good for them. You want to act like a classless whore, that's your business... but your expectation that they aid you in your and your friends actions and put their seal of approval on it shows that aparently Catholic Education has failed you in the morality department.

"I don't think they have a right to judge what goes on after the prom," he said. "They put everybody in the category of drinkers and drug addicts."

No son, you don't think PERIOD.

"The school has excellent values," said Margaret Cameron of Plainview, N.Y. "We send our children here because we support the values and the administration of the school, and I totally back everything they do."

Well at least there are some parents with some sense of kids at that school.

We have a prominent all male Catholic High School here that is top notch in education and football... and when it was found out that some of the team engaged in sexually harrassing and abusing a player, and that others who knew about it said nothing... the School immediately cancelled the remainder of the season... of course the parents all screamed it wasn't fair, and so did the students.. after all little johnny might not get his scholarship if he doesn't play... forget the fact little Johnny committed an insufferable sin and laughed with his buddies about it.

KUdos for the school for standing up for what's right, now they need to start expelling kids they know are over the line in their behaviors and not just cancelling prom.

Affluence is certainly not next to Godliness.

Well said. This school is (or at least should be) preaching modesty as a virtue. If they don't want to be associated with Roman-style decadence, more power to them.

Interestingly, in canceling the prom the principal really seems to sending a message to the parents, not the students (or perhaps teaching the students a lesson by admonishing the parents).
