I’d normally agree with you, but my fear would be for one person, probably a woman of color, to be arrested for having a miscarriage and for the case to go so far as jailing her and having her trial be effed up, and then she’s in prison for 15 years. I’m sure something like this is happening right now.

So the parents can sanction then, if it’s a club.

all the stars for you.

OMG, she looks 20 in the photo. Is that an Instagram Youth filter?

Models are the same height as Leslie, but not the same size. So designers don’t have problems with height, but can’t conceive of how to design for a non-model person.

got it. wish there was a sarcasm emoji.

By going to a progressive private school. I kid, but not really. In my kids’ school, there are several gender non-conforming kids and no one bats an eye; these kids are well-liked, embraced, and thriving. But, we’re preaching to the converted. If this was some school in the South or Midwest, it would still be tainted…

Have you seen Leslie in the skit with Peter Dinklage? She’s wearing a two-piece and is not fat at all. So sad you had to go there.

Maybe she wasn’t asking for a freebie, but for a designer gown. Still, this opened up a great peep into the celebrity-dress-stylist conundrum. Getting the popcorn now.

Thank you. I heart you and the time you took to parse out the quotes and explain this to the troll.

Another industry—insurance—works that way. Everyone pays into a pool, regardless if someone has cancer and someone does not. So when someone says, “why should I pay for your birth control?” Should the response be, “why should I pay for your cancer?”

What? If the area is poor, how could they pay higher property taxes to make up for the deficit? Before you hit ‘sent,’ did you think about how this statement comes off? Entitled.

But you’re right though. AP classes were no joke. At our school, they were taught like college-level lecture classes and were quite substantive.

Happened at our high school too.

did you mean general-level in your last sentence?

At our school, the valedictorian was a guy who took no AP courses and got a 4.0. The rest of us had taken 5 to 6 AP courses, got an A- or B in those classes and got screwed out of valedictorian and salutatorian. I never really cared, but this article reminded me of GPAs and how at our school, they didn’t count AP…

But ignoring 42 white people who got in with lower test scores makes perfect sense—for the lawsuit. I hope UT shouted this fact every single time Blum got up to speak.

The thing that is most annoying about the lawsuit and how it was ALL about race is that only 5 people of color with lower test scores got in ahead of Abigail, but 42 white kids with lower test scores also got in before Abigail. Yes, I’ve repeated this 5 times on this board, because it’s something CisAwesome misses…

If Fisher were to look at this objectively, she would have mentioned the 42 white kids with lower scores who got in ahead of her. Why didn’t she mention them? That is why people think she is a mediocre racist.

Yes, all of those 5 non-whites. They took a spot away from her. Those other 42 white kids with lower test scores? They deserve to be there! The case wasn’t televised or anything, but I would give anything to hear a judge ask that question: “Abby, why aren’t those 42 white kids targeted in your lawsuit?”
