Louisiana Principal Apologizes and Requests Leave After Punishing Student for Off-Campus Dancing

A Louisiana high school principal has apologized and requested leave after punishing a student for dancing at an off-campus party and questioning her religious beliefs. The principal initially removed her from her position and withdrew his recommendation for college scholarships, citing that she wasn't "living in the Lord's way." However, he later reversed his decision, apologized to the student's family, and acknowledged that it is not his responsibility to determine others' religious beliefs. The principal has now requested leave for the remainder of the school year.
