@JasSmith @FlyingSquid it was a public school. And they cited religious beliefs as for why they were so offended. That’s a clear violation of church and state and while it’s certainly not new or unique it’s not defensible or right.
just another second banana. Underemployed so i’m too tired to do anything like apply to jobs that would actually use my brain.

“They had other people dancing in that video who were on the dance team that nothing happened to. He said she was punished because she is the ‘hood ornament’ of the school.”
Based on the NY Post pictures it was probably awkward teenage white girl twerking too. This whole thing is just a nothing burger and it doesn’t even seem like a private school. what the heck?

@Coasting0942 @sara ooooooh. This is a religious scholarship? or a religious school? Alrighty then at least that makes sense.
@TheOneWithTheHair good lord what happened to just punishments. Even if this was something to punish (which it isn’t) anything more than a detention is kinda extreme? Ya’ll taking away scholarships? That’s a future by some measures. You’re saying it’s okay to take away her ability to get a bright future because she was at a party on her own time?
@roastedDeflator I mean it is a funny piece of satire and I support satire. But did they? Reading the article? The only thing I can see is the tick tock has a lot of comments. Is that what it means When we say they fell for it? that tick tock has a lot of comments. I don’t see any screenshots of articles where people were writing think pieces about it. Just three tiktok comments? This feels more like an ad for that satire website. And if so it kind of worked, I bookmarked it. I’ll check it out.
