It is 2023, and half of our population are barely out of the caves.
"Citing the significant public attention the episode had received"
Yeah there it is.
Well, i just didn't think anyone would care! You're telling me none of you have ever destroyed a bright young woman's future for having fun?!? But won't you think of The Lord???
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
"Oh no. It's the consequences of my actions!"
Yeah there it is.
Sorry I got caught...
Religious nutjob on power trip backs down because his bullshit is called out and his power is shattered. More of this, please
I couldn't even believe it when I first read this. Good news? In this timeline?
Between 2 genocides you have to really dig to find food news
I'm hearing good things about potato rosti.
Damn it, and now my typo is making me hungry
If it helps, I made a big batch of slow cooked beef mince bolognese that I am going to convert into chilli for dinner this evening.
It doesn't help... Hmmmm chili
Can confirm, it was good.
It'll balance out when he burns someone on a pyre with no repercussions.
Get a lawyer and sue for damages done to her character
Also separation of church and state
I heard some nut job State representative interviewed by NPR Who said that statute only meant that government couldn’t interfere in religion. It was his opinion that the statute said absolutely nothing about keeping religion out of government.
An interesting perspective. Wrong, but interesting.
I'm sure it's fine to him when the religion is Christianity, but true to pass a bill based on the Muslim faith and see what he has to say. These people are all hypocrites.
The nerve of this asscunt to impose his feeblemindedness on this girl.
Not only that, but a girl who clearly has her shit together and is doing all the right things to be elected class president and scholarship candidate.
You're not stating just how bad this is. He worked to RUIN the life of a student because of a single off campus activity that in no way is related to academics. He's only changed course because his phone is blowing up with people calling out his stupidity.
Yep, he's sorry he got caught
Just one thing - if it's anything like my experience in school, being class president just means you're popular. It doesn't necessarily mean you're put together. And pretty much every student in my class was a "scholarship candidate".
Doesn't excuse his actions though.
I'm afraid that you've missed the point here: life is a popularity contest and this is training for becoming a business or tech bro.
Some people actually have skills and use them. The rest say it's a popularity contest and talk about "its not what you know, it's who you know" in order to make themselves feel better.
And some people needlessly put down others as a result of their unending insecurity.
As a kid in the 80's I thought the premise of dirty dancing was a joke. 40 years later.........
Dirty Dancing or Footloose?
Yes.
And why has he not been fired?
Because it’s Louisiana
What's wrong with you, America?
Republicans.
So, so much.
Religious fundamentalist. I mean, the country was founded by people who were such extremists no one wanted them around.
The rest of the article:
“Finally, during my conversation with (the student) regarding the dance party, the subject of religious beliefs was broached by (the student) and myself,” St. Pierre wrote. “While that conversation was meant with the best intentions, I do understand it is not my responsibility to determine what students’ or others’ religious beliefs may be – that should be the responsibility of the individual.”
The student and her mother said St. Pierre brought up religion, not her. The mother and daughter have also said the deadline for her scholarship application was on Oct. 3, and questioned whether St. Pierre could have reinstated his scholarship endorsement sooner, The Advocate reported.
In a statement Monday, district officials said St. Pierre had requested to take leave for the remainder of the school year.
“Walker High School Principal Jason St. Pierre has requested to take leave for the remainder of the 2023-2024 school year,” said Livingston Parish Public Schools Superintendent Joe Murphy. “The district office is awaiting his paperwork to process his request.”
Fuck this guy for bringing his religion into school administration, and infringing this student's 1A rights with it. Hopefully his leave will become a resignation.
He should be fired, and no retirement package.
