Quote HistoryQuoted:
The school is: 1. Private 2. Christian I think there's more to the story, but clearly the school thinks its policies have been violated. The girl doesn't HAVE to go to school there, and apparently "them's the rules". On the surface, the school's actions seem a bit heartless, but if you're up in arms about it them you're basically a "BAKE MY CAKE-ER". |

Quote HistoryQuoted: But the school should not punish people for what they do outside of school. Thats exactly what is happening in this situation. I posted a link as the third reply to this thread where a child was expelled after he went shooting with family. GD outrage was predictable. I can legally take my child shooting or hunting. I can take my child to Richmond on the 20th to protest for gun rights. I can legally allow a child to drive my car or tractor on private property. I can legally take my underage child into a bar, buy them a beer, give it to them, and have a beer with my boy. Those are my rights as a parent. But what this school is doing is saying you don't get to be a parent unless we agree with your parenting style and morality. Fuck them. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: It's a fucking private Christian school. How can you select a religious school, pay for it, then decide you don't agree with their morality? Because thats the lesson this school is teaching here: That if you don't agree with someone's morality or parenting that occurs outside of your association with them, then its okay to remove them completely. ETA: I guarantee you if a school banned all Christians because they disagreed with their views, GD would be ready to march on them. |

A) I’m sure there’s more to this. They’re looking for a reason to toss her, and this happened to be the low hanging fruit. Or perhaps it’s one of dozens of legitimate reasons and social media is pretending this dumb reason is the only reason she was let go.
B) School is retarded either way. One can wear/like a rainbow without being a fag. Lots of girls like rainbows and unicorns and shit. Alternatively, if this “violation” is part of a longer list of reasons, it should have been left off the list of reasons they expelled her for entirely. It’s a dumb reason whether on its own or part of a collective. If my kid were expelled for any reason that was untrue, I’d fight it tooth and nail - if nothing else to call attention to the schools asshattery and to get paid. They’re not called punitive damages for nothin. I’ll bet she either gets a small payday or they reinstate her and the rest of her private education is free. |

Man I love how the thinkers and independent minds on arfcom are just taking this bait and knee jerk attacking the school even when the facts are posted in the same thread
.
This girl had been causing trouble for a long time (2 years) and this post was the last straw. I also wouldn't doubt for one second that this "rainbow" birthday cake was deliberately designed and posted to cause the outrage that is being generated in this thread, and is probably also being used as pretext to a lawsuit. But let's ignore all that and attack religion once again

There are a lot of holes in the story and I'm not advocating for either side. If I had to guess, the mom is the type that feels that not all the rules apply to her and has raised her daughter in a similar manner. They probably do not agree with all of the school's policies and have openly challenged them in the past. Certainly would not be the first case of a rebellious student pushing the boundaries. The school finally got tired of the distractions and cut her loose. |

It's pretty par for the course though. Christian schools are pretty drama llama city.
My mom's school expelled a boy for having "inappropriate" hair because it was longer than his earlobe. It also turns out his mom and an administrator had had a fling a while back and she was volunteering too much for admin's (third) wife's liking. |

Its a sad indictment of the evils of LGBTQ+++ when this teen girl is grouped in with them because she like RAINBOWS.
In the Bible, Rainbows are a symbol of God's promise to never send a global flood and wipe us out (again). In science, its an interesting way to demonstrate diffraction of light. But its been co-opted and perverted by LGBTQ++ for their own propaganda. FREE THE RAINBOW!!! |
