Students expelled for...kissing on a school bus?

Darren and Wendy sitting on the bus. k-i-s-s-i-n-g.

And then, they got expelled from school. For kissing and necking on the school bus.

That's what happened to a young 17-year-old man, Dominique Goyner.

Richland County schools in South Carolina expelled the pair after video evidence showed them kissing and necking each other. They cited 'sexual misconduct' as the reason.

Hmmm-kay. Two young kids doing what comes naturally, what young people do. They weren't having sex- just kissing. Even if it was heavy petting, still, they didn't deserve expulsion. Suspension, maybe, but not outright expulsion.

This young man seems to have a good head on his shoulder. He has accepted responsibility for his actions, which show me that he's mature. Which is more than I can say for the Richland County School District, in the Columbia, South Carolina area.
