Senior prom was something Parker Jensen, a Towson High School student, thought he wouldn't be able to attend.

In March, the 18-year-old was suspended for seven days after trying to get answers on why his classrooms didn’t have American flags.

Earlier this month, Jensen settled a lawsuit with BCPS for being improperly suspended.
