The teachers involved in this matter have been disciplined according to district policy and the incident is still under investigation.

Sadly, even if they “get what they voted for”, they’ll figure out a way to blame Democrats (or poor people) for literally every single bad thing that happens in their life.

Bullshit. She admitted she violated the dress code. This isn’t Rosa Parks. It’s some teen jeopardizing her future over a stupid shirt.

Not agreeing with it. But a jacket can be taken off as soon as authority is gone. Probably principals line of thinking.

Well it’s a known rule at that school.

I always find these types of dress codes to be oddly confusing. If you’re saying “exposed shoulders” are not allowed at school, how exactly do you justify the vast majority of sports uniforms, such as wrestling, volleyball, basketball, swimming, etc?

Well, maybe an apology for doing something isn’t the best time to make an absolute statement (literal or not) about never doing exactly that thing? It’s an attempt to avoid responsibility, and it diminishes the sincerity of his apology.

I’m not interpreting it as absolute. The word “never” makes it an absolute statement. That’s what an absolute statement is.

There’s no other way than literally to interpret the phrase, “I never use that word.” That’s an absolute statement, and it’s absolutely false.

There’s nothing “holier than thou” about pointing out insincerity when it’s glaringly obvious.

Yes, because one is a true statement and the other is a demonstrable lie.

Would you feel better if he said “it’s a word I use very infrequent”? Does that change how you feel about his apology?

Your first sentence makes absolutely no sense and you seem to use “radical” in an extremely loose sense.

It’s difficult to follow your “sentences” but I don’t think this is in anyway a “liberal” issue.

It shouldn’t come as a big surprise that people resort to offensive slurs when their emotions get the best of them. I don’t know whether or not he uses it daily in his life (and it appears he doesn’t), but I hear people use gay slurs (or racial slurs) to describe an extremely wide range of things (most of which are in…

With all these snowflakes, how can Climate Change possibly be real!?!?

There are plenty of folks that almost never swear, but the first thing they do when they stub their toe is scream “fuck” or “shit”, so I think it’s a bit of a stretch to say that because he used it in the heat of a professional baseball game that he uses the slur frequently.

This may be the ONLY place in the world where white guys “all look alike” and black guys are easily distinguished from one another. Hilarious

The Celtics seemed overly worried about giving up wide open threes to the collection of shooters the Cavs put on the perimeter. I definitely understand that strategy in terms of 3 vs 2 points, but the fact that they didn’t pivot away from that strategy after the first half somewhat amazed me.

Heck of a false equivalence
