Henry DeGroot
thought it would be a good idea to write pro-democracy messages on
the notebook of a fellow student. Given that DeGroot was attending
a school in Beijing on a semester abroad program, he shouldn’t have
been surprised that school officials gave him five hours of
detention. But he was surprised when he got home and
was barred
from attending his prom
 by the Newton, Massachusetts,
school system. Newton officials say DeGroot embarrassed the
principal of the Chinese school and may have endangered the
relationship between the school systems.
