That are in loco parentis. From a legal perspective, their ass is grass.

That’s such a flawed line of thought, though. Anyone (who knows enough about drag queens to be familiar with their vernacular) should also at least be slightly aware that most of their vocabulary is borrowed from black culture. So if she was fired for being “too much like a drag queen”, then this is really fucked up.

Hopefully that will be brought up in the suit as well. Even after the rape the school failed to provide a safe environment for her.

I can understand why she’s so distraught; I was once betrayed by the people I considered to be my best friends in the world, without any justification or explanation. I still don’t know why they changed so suddenly, as no one ever told me why they thought it was okay. And even though I would never be friends with them…

now with the backing of the GOP establishment, GOP resources, and GOP operatives

Yeah, that “imagine what he’d do with the nuclear arsenal” response is killer. It’s so smart—it plays into his supposed strengths as a guy who “tells it like it is” and doesn't take shit from anybody, and immediately flips them into weaknesses.

Thank you for going to the headmaster even if you weren’t listened to.

Its why I’m optimistic. There are two Hilary Clintons: the intelligent and capable woman and the sleazy duplicitous liar of right and left wing fantasy. She’s constantly underestimated until people actually see her in action.

When the debates come around and Trump actually has to share the stage with the genuine…

I keep waiting for the debate when he tells the moderator “your not being very nice” and the rest of the debate is just Hillary Clinton laughing and occasionally coming up for air to say “he thought people were going to be nice” before that sets her off again.

Brilliant. Clinton is so much better than she’s given credit for. She’s intelligent, thoughtful, and experienced. She’s made mistakes, but so have we all. Plus, she’s learned from them, which unfortunately cannot be said for Trump.

Also today in unintentionally chilling things Paul Ryan has said!

Having worked at a private school, I think the ethos is to defend the name and reputation of the school at all costs. Even when said defense makes them look even worse.

God dammit, of course she was.

If that whole disgusting senior salute was indeed a tradition, there is zero chance that staff members didn’t know about it. Zero.

I don’t think I’ve ever heard of this before. It speaks volumes.

I hope it’s not the former because The Slot’s coverage is almost always better than Gawker’s.

I had no idea this was relevant to my interests until now

Seems like the perfect time for our acappella group The Jizzebelles to reunite.

This is a fantastic interview.

I’ve been caught up in Met Operas and whatnot before while procrastinating cleaning my house on a saturday afternoon. Hamilton would be appointment television though.
