with all the inaccurate statements in your post, so I'll just pick a few...

"...what the kids do after the prom particularly since they are already graduates of the school?"

On Long Island, proms are usually held well before graduation. Usually in May, graduations are usually in June.

"...the school does not have parental authority."

He never claimed it did. What it may have though is legal liability . What he claimed is that he school didn't want to be affiliated with this kind of behavior.

"If the parents are affluent and choose to waste their money it is not his business."

Well, actually it is, since he's charged with teaching Catholic ethics to the students, and the affluent wasting money would be considered a serious sin.

"Who gave him this authority. "

Well, first off, those who made him principal of the school. Then there's the parents who sent their kids to a private Catholic school where one could guess that Catholic social and moral teaching would be put into action.
