Dreher tweet on the Louisville Christian school that expelled girl over rainbow cake

There's always more to these stories. I'm not familiar with this story. Is the media saying a student got kicked out of school because of a cake?

I'm sure the media will quietly issue retractions and corrections in a month or two.

The picture depicted her 15th birthday.

Its a violation for the school to publicly comment on discipline issues and they are taking advantage of it.

---

"they" arent the only ones.

People were seizing on the “kicked out over a shirt” issue but not looking into why there was two years worth of incidents documented on her as well as a meeting approximately 45 days ago laying out problems and that expulsion was on the table.

This is why... by (long abandoned) journalistic standards one NEVER publishes a single-sourced story.

These days “standards” seem to be not only single-sources but often amounting to anonymous social media sources.

Anytime you see a single-sourced story—something’s f*cky.

Even if we accept the premise that she had "prior issues", a shirt worn off-campus should never, ever be the "final straw".

Now... if it wasn't the final straw, and something else was the final straw... then all bets are off.

The thread in the O-T (which I started) clearly laid out that the school had the "right" to take this action, as a private school. So the OP's contention that private association, etc, is being ignored, is not accurate.

The question I laid out on the other thread, was "WHY" - Why did the school take this action, and why do people send their kids to religious schools that would expel kids for off-campus, non-school-related behavior.

quote:

---

You apparently missed the posts upthread that claimed the shirt / cake had nothing to do with it and instead were given as excuses by her mother for the expulsion.

---

There were no links, just claims by the OP. So I ignored it.

Now, if the OP turns out be correct, then of course, I'll change my tune.

quote:

---

No official reason has been given for the expulsion but rumors are that she was vaping on campus.

---

To me, while I still personally think that's a stupid reason to expel someone... at least that's a clearly defined rule in an on-campus situation. If you can't follow the rules of the institution, I have no problem with them telling you not to come back. Actions have consequences.

He just dropped his story.

When Alford says her daughter “is no angel,” and confirms that she has had “disciplinary issues,” she’s understating matters. My understanding is that Kayla Kenney had a long, specific list of repeated infractions — bullying, disrespecting teachers, vaping in school (as Alford acknowledges), and so forth. Part of what she has allegedly done is promoting LGBT consciousness in the school, including aggression on that front. I’m trying to be delicate here, but I can tell you that she has transgressed against other students on this front, to promote bisexuality. For example, she allegedly drew rainbows and wrote slogans like “bi pride” on other kids’ papers, and gave at least two different girls the impression that she was sexually harassing them. Kayla has been presenting herself as gay on her Instagram account:





And they signed this:

The problem here is an uneven playing field.

The school is legally constrained from saying much.

The mother and daughter are getting their version of the story out there and a lot of people within Louisville have called bullshite on their claims.
