US High School Student Loses Scholarship Over Social Media Twerking Video
A Louisiana high school student lost her student government position and scholarship opportunities after a twerking video was shared on social media.
You're viewing a single thread.
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
Fuck the school system! It's never been about educating children. It's only about conditioning children to blindly accept what they're told by authority.
From my experience, if people are not assholes, there is always a way. I've been accepted to a school when I missed the deadline by two weeks regardless.
Unless the school system in the USA is strict and non-negotiable.
Wow, when you watch the video is even more benign than this thread headline. It's just plain dancing, nothing remotely scandalous.
