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

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.

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.

Next they're gonna find out she kissed a boy and expel her.

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

Sounds like some religious bullshit.

"That I wasn't basically following God's ideals, [...]"

Yep...

It was probably a scholarship for people with lower spinal paralysis. She was all set to collect the money but then she got roped into one of J-Roc’s grease videos.

That principal needs his hard drive forensically checked by the police.

Louisiana is fucked. Can these conservative fucking demons finally all move to one place and start their conservative nation like they always dream out loud about and leave the rest of us the fuck alone already?

Compared to Afghanistan where girls can't get an education, I bet these Christians consider themselves very tolerant and progressive.

Religion excels at making idiots into massive idiots, and empower them too.

She wasn't the one twerking.

She was dancing behind the twerker.

"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?

Fire that principal. He's a bad example for students.

At this point if anyone ever brings up religion to me outside of work, I'm just gonna shit on it. Tolerating religion is morally bad and religion should be as taboo as smoking.

Why'd they show the picture of the underaged girl in an article about her twerking? That's really weird.
