Girl Banned From Prom For Smoking Away From School
Quote:
GRAND FORKS, N.D. -- Leona Fitzpatrick is going to court -- in order to go to the senior prom.
She's been barred from her prom for smoking -- and not even on school grounds. The Hillsboro, N.D., School Board has rules against students using alcohol, tobacco or drugs.
Students can be kicked out of extracurricular activities for violating the no-smoking rule.
Now, Leona is seeking a court order so she can go to the dance. Her parents point out that she's 18 and legally allowed to smoke in North Dakota.

Do we need further evidence that there is too much interference in our own personal lives?
A.) She's 18. It's legal for her to smoke, if she so chooses.
B.) She was smoking off of school property. How far should a school's "jurisdiction" reach?
