What does shaking your ass at a private party have to do with your academics? This is the dumbest situation. This poor girl.
was seen dancing at a private homecoming afterparty on 30 September, behind a friend who was twerking.
she wasn’t even the one twerking
For fucks sake. I hope her family calls the ACLU.
Seems like the easiest way to get into a really good school would be to sue, whip up a media frenzy, and frame it through a feminist lens. Write an essay about overcoming adversity by standing up for what is right, no matter the cost.
BOOM easy admissions.
It has everything to do with it because god said so:
“They basically told me that I should be ashamed of myself,” Timonet told a local news outlet. “That I wasn’t basically following God’s ideals, which made me cry even more.” “I felt like my life was over.”
Guys, it’s the same rules as any underaged closet atheist. Study your ass off, become financially independent, then twerk in front of your god fearing scholarship committee
Religion is cancer
Christianity is cancer. My religion supports your right to twerk.
I am interested in your religion
It’s Satanism.
Satanism is only necessary because religion is cancer though. Just like cancer, we need to use another thing that kills to kill it. I’m 100% in agreement with Satanism’s tenants, but it’s because they’re just humanist ideals wrapped in the garb of religion to use religion as a tool.
All religions are tools. Saying “religion is cancer” overlooks all of the good things that people get out of religion, such as a community with shared values that helps each other. If you can have a religion without superstition and dogma, where’s the harm? It’s not religion that’s cancer. It’s superstition and dogma.
He (the principal) said she was punished because she is the ‘hood ornament’ of the school."
Oh for fuck sake! This is crazy old fashioned bullshit right here.
JFC, that’s not just bullshit, it’s outright objectification and misogyny.
Don’t worry he quoted the Bible
the principal had referred to Bible scripture on several occasions and informed her he was ‘well within his right’ to enact the discipline he chose
Ah yes, I forgot that Jesus came down to earth and said “don’t enjoy yourself women, your only purpose is just to have children under our neofascist theocratic regime”
And Jesus said: Thou shall not SHAKE YOUR RUMP-AH
Edit: I didn’t realise this was a weird American Christian thing. Should have just steered clear and not asked questions. ✌

Yeah, but you see that is black dancing. Twerking is also black dancing to them. The principal is punishing this girl because of a perceived moral lapse, but there’s always the racial subtext in the South. It reminds me of when all the incels and conservatives freaked out over She-Hulk because of the twerking bit. It’s not just morality, but also racism.

“That I wasn’t basically following God’s ideals, which made me cry even more.” So a state institution imposing religious virtues on a student? How is that constitutional, something for the ACLU perhaps?
Sounds like something the US would invade a country for doing
It appears that the principal is backpedaling really hard. Even so, the kid still lost out on the scholarship because she missed the deadline to apply through the school.
The mother said in response to the principal’s apology,
“It’s too little, too late. I even told him on the phone conversation when he made it to us at noon today asking us to come into the office and he mentioned reinstating the scholarship, I let him know that the scholarship deadline was done, and the damage that he’s done to her is done. I also told him I gave them the opportunity when I came in there at 7 o’ clock the next morning, to try and rectify the situation at that point. Now, with somebody holding his hand forcing him to do something, an apology being enforced it’s too late,” said Rachel Timonet
Fuck the school system! It’s never been about educating children. It’s only about conditioning children to blindly accept what they’re told by authority.
My. God. The pearl clutching and oppression of the female body these days. We may as well go back to corsets and chastity belts.
I’m not going to encourage a HSer to twerk, but c’mon! You’re going to punish her for having fun at an unrelated and offsite event? Get real.
How is this allowed? Are they gonna kick people out of college because they had sex once?
Lessons learned in Afghanistan i guess. Christian Taliban
Sounds like some religious bullshit.
“That I wasn’t basically following God’s ideals, […]”
Yep…
