They suspended this girl for coming out as a lesbian on Facebook, and withheld her degree. Threatened to retaliate if she made further comments on social media.
Sick sad fucks.
Hope she takes them to the cleaners, a paid for private school diploma is not contingent on sexual orientation
SCOTUS has ruled that privately held companies can have religious discrimination, established in Burwell v Hobby Lobby (2014) allowed hobby lobby to refuse providing contraceptive Healthcare coverage to their employees. I would not be surprised by the current court siding with the school over the student.
Except she isn’t employed by the school her parents presumably paid for a service that was withdrawn on false grounds.
It’s a private school we don’t know what’s in their contracts.
Might depend on the school’s started reasoning. If being gay was against the “school rules” they could have a valid reason for removing the student.
Private schools in the US have historically been a way to shut out the “wrong” kind of kid anyway.
As a “fun” exercise, if you are in the US, look up when your state was desegregated and compare to your local non-Catholic private schools’ founding dates…
I feel like before it even got that far she could just go to whatever job or college she’s trying to apply to with a news story about her high school being stupid for proof of education and a few letters of recommendation for proof of character and just skip the diploma altogether
Fair enough, definitely not trying to say they aren’t going to try to intimidate her or minimize how fucked up they’re being, just saying I think/hope that will be a fight she’ll win in the long run
I hope so too. It’s evil and sick. She deserves better. I hope the attention brings her better things and support.
It’s adults bullying children.
“Gay student allowed to graduate” being news in 2025 is really good and fun and fine.
Stay safe, American queers (and PoC, and women, and honestly at this point everyone in the US… maybe except Trump supporters.)
Only the bourgeoisie are safe now
If they were going to cave that easily why even try the flex at all? Like surely they knew shit would go over like a lead balloon right?
That’s just toeing the water. Seeing if the fragile skin of the fascist can withstand the temperature.
what the fuck
Tennessee Christian Preparatory School firmly rejects the misleading allegations outlined in a recent lawsuit supposedly filed against the school. As of 11:00 AM on May 22, we have yet to be served with process for the alleged lawsuit. The administration and Board of Trustees express deep disappointment over the inaccuracies contained in the alleged filing by Daniel A. Horwitz with Horwitz Law in Nashville.
Yeah because this girl just decided to sue you for now reason at all
