This is a public school. All kinds of discrimination lawsuits could be filed for this.
https://www.theadvocate.com/baton_rouge/baton-rouge-metro-area-student-in-trouble-for-dancing/article_e588c49e-6461-11ee-a9a5-73319b66f8eb.html To Rachel Timonet, the video is harmless: Just her 17-year-old daughter, Kaylee Timonet, laughing and dancing with her friends to a DJ at a party after the Walker High School homecoming. But three days later, Jason St. Pierre, the public school's principal, stripped her daughter's title as student government president and revoked his help obtaining college scholarships, saying the video was inappropriate, Rachel Timonet says. She says St. Pierre told her daughter she wasnt living in the Lords way." The move has ignited outrage and disbelief in the Livingston school district. Parents have taken to social media to decry St. Pierre's actions, comparing them to the movie "Footloose." Some have made T-shirts that say "Let the girl dance," and have encouraged other students to post "twerking" videos in support. I was very upset at how the situation was handled. I dont think anybody should be speaking about faith in any form. They dont know my beliefs, and its a public school, Rachel Timonet said. Delia Taylor, a spokesperson for the Livingston Parish School District, said the district plans to investigate the situation, but said she could not comment further. Weve been having after-parties for years after homecoming and after prom. Its a place for kids to have fun and dance. I was physically there myself with other parents, Rachel Timonet said. The hired DJ took a 15-second video of Kaylee Timonet dancing with friends and later posted it on social media. Rachel Timonet said she and Kaylee saw the video before it was posted and didnt think anything of it. Shes been a dancer since she was 2 years old. She does hip-hop, she dances for Disney, she dances in New York City, and shes even danced at school [in performances] like that, Rachel Timonet said. St. Pierre had recommended Kaylee for two scholarships, but there was still paperwork to fill out, the mom says. So when Kaylee was called into the office on Tuesday, Oct. 3, she assumed that was why. Instead, St. Pierre and Kelly Becnel, a teacher, told her they were removing her from student government and would no longer recommend her for scholarships, according to Rachel Timonet. They said they didnt want her representing Walker High School. She was totally shocked, Timonet said. He told her she wasnt living in the Lords way and questioned who her friends were and if they followed the Lord. She said she didnt know how to answer that and they said its a yes or no question. Meanwhile, shes sobbing. Rachel Timonet said St. Pierre printed out Bible verses and highlighted sections. Most devastating to Kaylee, he told her she was no longer eligible for student of the year. Her entire life shes worked toward that, Rachel Timonet said. She said she really felt she didnt think anything was wrong in the video, but at this point she said she really felt like a complete failure. When Kaylee came home Rachel was furious. She called St. Pierre. Its just not right. Its out of line. She was not on Walker High School property, not in any Walker High School gear, on her own free time, at a private event, she said. She said St. Pierre told her they share a difference of opinion, and because its his school he gets to decide whats appropriate or not. So she sent a follow-up email. The fact this went on after school hours should not have been addressed by you at all, the letter reads. You do have the right to remove anyone from your clubs, but to talk to them and have them crying for two hours is not ok. --- The truth will set you free, but first it will piss you off. ...

So I can understand being a hateful misogynistic religious bigot. It's detestable but like I understand how people get to that deplorable point. What I never understand how someone can completely lack the awareness of what their shitty actions will do.
Like this dude had at least the base level acumen to become a principal. That doesn't mean he was good at his job or deserving but at least was able to play the internal politicking game to get the role. I don't see how he could be capable of that while simultaneously lacking the ability to see that his actions here would be inviting a category 5 shitstorm onto himself. Like this dude is outrageously fucked and it's entirely self-inflicted. But fuck this dude and I hope he gets the absolute book thrown at him. --- 1 line break(s), 160 characters allowed ...

He should've been fired. It's good that he apologized and all, but I believe that a person who holds such authority should definitely know better and be held accountable when they behave like this. An example needs to be set so that like-minded people don't go around bullying other students in this manner while pretending their chosen religion makes them more important than everyone else.
