    What does shaking your ass at a private party have to do with your academics? This is the dumbest situation. This poor girl.

    He (the principal) said she was punished because she is the ‘hood ornament’ of the school."

    Oh for fuck sake! This is crazy old fashioned bullshit right here.

    My. God. The pearl clutching and oppression of the female body these days. We may as well go back to corsets and chastity belts.

    I’m not going to encourage a HSer to twerk, but c’mon! You’re going to punish her for having fun at an unrelated and offsite event? Get real.
