    What does shaking your ass at a private party have to do with your academics? This is the dumbest situation. This poor girl.

          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

    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.

        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”

    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.

    “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?
