All tag results for 'suspended'

Before you sharpen your pitchforks in anticipation for what this kid tweeted, we can tell you right now that he absolutely should not have been suspended for it. It's VERY tame, and the reaction from the administration is pretty appalling!

The kid in question happens to be the senior class president at a Height High School, and has been suspended and banned from almost all graduation activities. Why? A tweet that the school officials claim insulted athletes at the school.

Are you ready for the tweet? Here you go:

When 33 members of the senior class of Scripps Ranch High School have to explain to their families why they wouldn't be picking up their diplomas at graduation, they had to refer to Urban Dictionary!

The students were suspended, prevented from walking at graduation, and banned from prom, all for twerking!

Well, that and making a VIDEO of it!

Ch-ch-check out the video (above) to see what got 32 female dancers and one male coach of the "Twerk Team" in trouble!

The students are accused of breaking the school's sexual harassment policy, which according to the SRHS handbook, includes any "verbal, visual, or physical conduct of a sexual nature made by someone from or in the educational setting."

The punishment is causing quite a bit of controversy, in and out of the high school, and we can see why!

We hate to see kids punished for dancing, but then again this is hardly the plot of Footloose!

What do U think??

Performing Arts teacher Sue Johnson was suspended for three days for playing a music video for her class.

Was it a video that glorified violence? Showed nudity? Was it full of graphic language?

Nope- it supported marriage equality.

Ch-ch-check out the video (above) for Same Love by Macklemore and Ryan Lewis to see every controversial moment!

We're not sure this was entirely appropriate.

A six-year-old boy has been suspended by the school he attends for making a "gun gesture" at another student in his gym class.

The parents have hired a lawyer to get the incident off the boy's permanent record. Yes there are apparently such things as permanent records for six-years-old.

Susan Johnson is a performing arts teacher who works in Michigan and when one of her students approached her to play a song that was pro-gay, she thought it would be a good experience for all of her students.

Here's what she said:

"I asked him a few questions about the song…if it was violent, if there was any profanity, and he said no, I really love my kids and I never want to hurt them, but I also know that there's a lot of bullying and there's a lot of gay bashing and racial issues going on in our country and I want the kids to feel comfortable in my class no matter who they are. This is one of the things in my school that we're trying to practice and we're trying to instill in our students is tolerance to diversity."

But her administration disagreed.

When Rihanna heard that a 15-year-old girl was suspended by her school for dying her hair red in homage to the pop singer, Rihanna stood up and applauded for the student's right to express herself.

Terri Bancroft was banned from her Welsh school after copying Rihanna' hair color.

So Rihanna decided to instead pay homage the teenager and wrote just the sweetest message to her on Twitter.
