Principal did backround checks on girls' prom dates

Anonymous User writes "A Cape Cod area high school principal is under investigation for performing criminal background checks on the male prom dates for a number of female students. While the prom dates of these females students were not actually enrolled at this school this is largely irrelevent. In essence, what we have here is a government official screening male citizens for their romantic suitablity via criminal backround checks. Admittedly, some of the male guests did have minor records but this is not the point. How long until the government requires all males to submit to a criminal backround check in order to initate a romantic relationship with a female citizen? Think it can't happen? Have we forgotten IMBRA?"

Ed. note: IMBRA is also discussed in this Wikipedia entry.
