I 100% get that and agree. The point was simply that this can’t be looked at as “Miley Cyrus on steroids” to paraphrase the person I was responding to. It’s one thing to steal aspects of another persons culture and profit from it. It’s a very different thing to just straight up pretend you are a member of another…

Sunando Sen was pushed in front of a train bc a crazy racist woman thought he was a Muslim and somehow responsible for 9/11. He couldn’t possibly know what it was like to be on the receiving end of anti-Muslim hatred though, right? How could he if he wasn’t Muslim?? Oh, that’s right, you need not actually be something…

You sound fun. You still missed my point, and continue to contribute nothing, so... Agreed. Bye.

You very much missed my point, and used it as an opportunity to make some other point twice. So... Ok? Enjoy your day.

Yea. She's a psycho. This is such a bizarre story.

I agreed with another comment of yours, and I agree with much of this one, as well. Where I (might) disagree a little bit is that she may have so convincingly executed this charade that she has had to legitimately deal with some of the struggles actual black women have had to deal with. I don’t say this to garner…

Agree

I’m trying very hard not to judge her, but my compass is moving consistently to psychopath. All the lies certainly don't help her case.

Isn’t beating up innocent people a crime?

What a fucking farce. Happy for this kid to have the charges dropped, but the victory is so hollow. Officers won’t be charged???? Why the fuck not??? Oh, that’s right, forgot we were in America. I hope he sues them to death.

Drug law, specifically pot laws, are insanely stupid, but people who get high and lead cops on a car chase can go fuck themselves a hundred times. Seriously that is how people get hurt. And fuck the author for acting like the problem there is pot. Teenagers are stupid. Pot arrests are stupid. Running from the cops…

This is the strangest tampon ad I've ever seen.

Great! If only your feeling that way made it so.

I don’t care one bit! But guess who does? The private school withholding her diploma and transcripts. And guess who really wants those things?? The girl who is now bitching and moaning.

I see with the update that they are withholding her transcript. That is pretty shitty. I expect that legally the school will lose this battle in the long run, and they certainly don’t look good in the court of public opinion, so this is all a big waste of time.

Yea, again, I don’t think the school looks good here. But this child is not a victim of anything but her own stupidity. And not giving someone a diploma is not the same thing as withholding transcripts. Diplomas are largely ceremonial and she made it pretty clear what she thought of this ceremony. Also... No one…

Why do you think the author decided to use quotation marks around the word inspection and then later admit that it was cursory in nature? I’m going to go out on a pretty strong limb and say she did that bc it wasn’t an inspection at all. I 100% agree that if an adult in a position of authority saw her shoes and told…

Where is the evidence that it wasn’t consistently applied? This mother bitching does not constitute evidence. It sounds like enforcement of the school’s code throughout the year may have been a little spotty, but graduation is a special event and it was made abundantly clear what students should wear.

Do you really believe (American) society today is more concerned with what kids are wearing than any of the previous generations? If anything, I’d argue we are improving (caring less) by leaps and bounds.

If she couldn’t afford the shoes, and the mother or student had made some sort of effort to communicate that fact to the school, and they told the mother/child to fuck off, I think you’d have a valid point. None of that is true though. She had appropriate shoes with her and chose not to wear them. The article also…
