Hold it right there. You're conservative. To a conservative, there are no good qualities to a madrassa's oppressive rules and a good quality to a Christian school's oppressive*rules.

The kid wasn’t expelled for wearing an “American flag” on his T-shirt. He was expelled for NOT wearing a “solid colored shirt” on school property as stated in their dress code . The girl WAS expelled for wearing a rainbow on her shirt off school grounds and off school time at a birthday party at a restaurant. Do you want me to draw you some pictures with crayons so you understand?

I'm not conservative. Look at my lean. I'm centrist. I believe in the freedom of speech part of the first amendment. So does Trump. So do conservatives.

EDIT: I agree that Conservatives believe as you stated in your post...not conservatives...there is a difference. And Conservatives aren't conservative because Conservatives wholly believe in the power of the federal government. Both progressives and Conservatives are wrong.

You believe what you want to believe. I understand I don't have any power to help you to understand the situation.

Read the article, and find for a fact that it was. I said there was no evidence of that, which means I don't know all the facts, but since there is no evidence...innocent until proven guilty.

actually its factually not relevant at all to my post nor is it true. If you disagree then back up your claim and prove otherwise . . but as usual, you wont, cause you cant

One was at school during school hours, another one was at a private birthday party off school hours. :roll:

Yes. You don't care about the expulsion due to the flag shirt. You just want to infer the girl's expulsion was due to the rainbow shirt. You dems are real proficient at inference, lately. Too bad you don't have any facts...again.

First, the flag shirt kid wasn't expelled nor even suspended. He was given an "in-school suspension" and that was found to be given in error so his record was cleared.

Second, Kayla's expulsion was due to habitual rule violations and her behavior at her off-campus birthday party was found to violate the school's policies per the manual and, I'm guessing, the contract the parents (and maybe Kayla) signed with the private school.

Facts do, indeed, matter and the "dems" aren't the only ones guilty of "inference".
 
Not that it should matter but her sweater has 4 colors in an "arc" pattern - not a pride rainbow. Maybe a pride cake or maybe a cool looking rainbow cake. Perhaps she was looking for a way out of the school or the school was looking to get rid of her... Sounds like she is better off.

According to the mother she took it to the media to "defend her daughter". The daughter deserves privacy and not to be held up as a political tool (which is what the story is being used for, of course). That's a shame.

Hopefully this will help the US revisit the concept of churches and religious schools being exempt from taxation. Tax payers should not be subsidizing religious institutions.

Irrelevant to the rules which apply here.

This isn't the first case where students have gotten into trouble off-campus, after-hours and on social media.

First one is at a University.

Second one, trash talking about teachers is a big no no.

Do I need to explain the third one?

So? Off campus, after hours. The point being that just because something is "off campus", after hours doesn't automatically make a student's behavior okay as a few have implied or attempted to use as evidence of unfairness.

Correct. I don't disagree. The point was that the poster thought both cases happened ON school properties. Hence why his comparison failed.

Christian School Expels Girl for Wearing Rainbow Sweater on Her Birthday | Hemant Mehta | Friendly Atheist | Patheos

Whitefield Academy, a private Christian school, expelled 15-year-old freshman*Kayla Kenney*for having the*audacity*to celebrate her birthday with a multi-colored cake while wearing a rainbow sweater.

Because*everyone*knows what that really means.

We don't even know that she's gay. But hey, rainbows, OMG! Guess the Noah story doesn't mean anything to them.

Well, at least she wasn't beaten up for wearing a MAGA hat.

He was wrong on a number of points this thread alone, some of which I pointed out just previous to my reply to you. :)

Well,the third one just shows hiw the left treats nei-nazis unfairly. They are "very fine people ."

No, you never did. Since you were at the party, you clearly know what kind of Satan-worshipping, Democrat-voting stuff was going on.
