That's a hard one. On the surface of things, I would say that the principal has no business looking at your son's yearbook. However, maybe he knows something you all don't and needs confirmation. My daughter goes to a Christian school and I don't like everything either. Sometimes I wish they got a little more involved in kids lives b/c there are some kids there that are tettering on the edge of real problems. Unfortunately, one is my daughter's best friend. What I tell her is that although we don't like everything we are told to do, that's life and she is always going to always have some authority figure and she needs to learn to obey even when she doesn't agree. However, there are times when the authority figure is wrong and that's when we need to question their authority, but pick those fights VERY carefully and be certain you're in the right. Without knowing more, I'd probably let the principal see the yearbook and let him know as a parent how I felt about the intrusion. If there's more to it, then he will probably let you know. If not, you've got a decision to make about whether or not to keep your son at the school.

My son got suspended for one day for something that he wrote in somebody else's book. If they get his book, some of those kids will get suspended or expelled. It is far worse stuff than what sonofparsifal wrote.

What really irritated me was that the principal browbeat the heck of of him over whether he was a Christian or not. Ny son replied that he was not real sure at this point. The principal then asked him why he was going to school there and why he was "corrupting" others. Wife and son both have been begging me not to go up there and cuss crap out of that SOB. From what I know, some of the little goody-two shoes kids up there are smoking dope, having sex, drinking, etc. and then seeing who can pray the loudest in chapel. Corrupting them my a**!

I have told kids for years not to let their opinion of Christianity be detrimentally affected by the school staff. IMHO, religious schools are responsible for turning large numbers of kids off religion. I guess the stupid b**tards never read any of the stumbling blocks stuff in the Bible. Satan, no doubt, loves church schools. parsy the really irritated about this whole thing.
