Rainbow shirt and cake a ‘lifestyle violation,’ student expelled from private school


quote:

Her rainbow top and a colorful birthday cake were captured in a photo her mother Kimberly Alford later shared on social media.


quote:

But the post was shared with staff at Kayla’s school, and apparently, it was the last straw for Whitefield Academy. A few days later, Kimberly was contacted by Head of School, Dr. Bruce Jacobson.

“It was an email expelling Kayla from Whitefield immediately due to a post on social media,” Alford said. “I feel judged, she feels judged, just very devastating for us.”

The private school claims the picture is the latest in two years’ worth of “lifestyle violations.” In the email, Dr. Jacobson said the picture “demonstrates a posture of morality and cultural acceptance contrary to that of Whitefield Academy’s beliefs.”


Kicking a kid out of school VIA EMAIL based on a picture taken at a local restaurant, and other "lifestyle violations"

quote:

The code of conduct does address sexual orientation and says if a student’s off-campus behavior isn’t in line with the school’s beliefs, that student can be disciplined.


Look, it's a private school, so they can do what they want.

But it amazes me that parents would sign up for this crap. Why would a parent subject themselves and their kids to Nosy Nellies looking online for off-campus activities / situations to use to kick a kid out?

A little different but I went to one back in the day but in our case, football team lining up for opening kickoff we were all adjusting our junk during the invocation. A few parents complained but coach never said anything

All she has to do is go to the principle, cry and said she has sinned, it was the devil in her and she has asked for forgiveness and they will let her back in,

Great.

Now do the public schools.

Add the public and private up.

See which one is more stupid.

Are private schools able to kick out any kid for any reason? If not, I doubt their policy says anything about not being able to have a rainbow cake with a rainbow stripe on a shirt right?

I'd be interested in this from a legal side of it..

The days of the "hands in the air" and "You must repent!" Snake charming schools are numbered. And they cheat worse than anyone when it comes to athletes. Russians and Yugoslavs make up too many of their starting fives.

I am usually on the other side of these issues. I do not like Jussie Smollett triggered types.

But this is ridiculous and makes me dislike the extreme right almost as much as its opposite. It's a rainbow. And a cake that probably tasted great.

Fortunately no public school administrator has ever done anything stupid.

Is someone forcing you to sign up your little heathens?

If not. What is the problem?

Because they don't think they are really subject to the rules. They probably also have no idea what the First Amendment protects them from.

Also, a certain amount of them are bucking for a lawsuit.

Hard to defend. Is the girl a lesbian? If so, the school has reasons for dismissing. If not, these people are screwed in the head. The rainbow was the symbol for Christianity before the gheys stole it and perverted the symbolism.

They also ran off the soccer coach after he posted a Youtube video in which he pointed out a double rainbow.

Nobody around here (Louisville) takes Whitefield seriously anyway. They don’t have the academic prowess of some of the Catholic schools here and were basically created to appease Highview Baptist Church folks who didn’t want to send their kid to Catholic or couldn’t get their kid into Christian Academy or the Highlands Latin School.

They occasionally do some stupid shite to put themselves in the news for the publicity.

My son’s Jr high soccer team, at an all boys private catholic school. was supposed to scrimmage the neighboring all girl’s school high school team today...but the athletic director called it off yesterday.

How dare these boys interact with girls in a contact sport!
