It was just a general question. It seems to the the main argument that some deserve it while others don't. So how do you determine who deserves a graduation and prom over who doesn't?
You mention this "contract" but be mindful that students are also under contract to abide by the Christian principles of the school. If schools had taken a stance like this YEARS ago, we would be living in a very different country today. Every single students of that graduating class deserves this punishment. I graduated high school a few years ago and we would have NEVER pulled such a disrespectful prank as to let our phones go off during mass. That is outrageous!!! Furthermore, I've seen the lewd, dirty, derogatory, disrespectful videos... Every student in that class was well aware of what was going on. They chose silence and in this world, Silence often means consent.
We are living in a different Bahamas. Children need to remember they are children First and yes under the age of 18 you are a child. Every single student knew was was going on and I'm very very sure there is more to this story. The great Bishop is doing the public a favor by not divulging all the activities that these group of 12th graders partook in.
At the end of the day, they will receive their diplomas. Hopefully this moment will remind them to make wiser decisions in the future!
I fully support the school. I hope that SJC won't be the only school to take such a stance. I have seen countless videos of students in school uniforming dancing in a vulgar manner while on school premises; that's utterly inappropriate. In addition to that, I can't fathom why students would find it funny to pull a prank during Mass! These students have absolutely no respect. Well done Bishop Boyd!
I'm very proud of the Anglican School Board for taking a stand against all this vulgarity!! Why would you pull a prank during MASS!!! Come on, have a little respect. Whether Anglican or not, you're disrespecting another person's religion and that is never okay.
I hope these students learned a valuable lesson this year.

On The 2013 St John’s College graduation ceremony and prom were cancelled after alleged “impudent acts” by students. Do you agree with the decision?
