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
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
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.
Edit: I didn't realise this was a weird American Christian thing. Should have just steered clear and not asked questions. ✌
"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
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
Why'd they show the picture of the underaged girl in an article about her twerking? That's really weird.
US law has no identity protection laws for news reporting. They can attach your face to anything.
You're just entirely making that shit up. Why do you feel the need to do that? https://www.findlaw.com/injury/torts-and-personal-injuries/online-photos--taken-and-posted-without-your-permission.html
The fuck are you on? That’s a random site that I’m sureeeeee works for random pictures taken without your permission being posted by random people, you think that’ll work against a massive news publication?
It’s a massive ethical debate, but you think that’ll stop them? The vast majority of photos used fall under fair use, since the second you post them to social media, they no longer belong to you.
That's a legal site run by lawyers under Reuters, it's not some random site. Do you have absolutely anything supporting what you're saying, or are you making things up off of stereotypes you read on the internet.
And? Nothing on the site states that you have legal recourse. Unless they’re slandering you; what can you do?
“Stereotypes” lmao
Sounds like some religious bullshit.
"That I wasn't basically following God's ideals, [...]"
Yep...
Good
