    @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?

      “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?

        🤢 ah yes, nothing like having all the thickness and curves of a tiny palm tree but still for some reason all the enthusiasm of a Labrador on bath salts. it’s more vertical vibration than twerking if you look like a bleached light pole.

        they were kids having sober, abstinent fun, nothing scandalous about it, and this Jesus shit needs to stop. I wish the international atheist society started a charity to get her scholarship money replaced, I would definitely throw in a few bucks.
