A Kentucky teen has been expelled from her school after a photo of her 15th birthday celebration was shared on social media.
The celebratory photo captured Kayla Kenney who was wearing a rainbow shirt, and smiling in front of a colorful cake at a local restaurant, where shed gone with her family to celebrate.
She was happy, she looked beautiful, Kenneys mother, Kimberly Alford, told local news station WAVE 3. You know, of course as a mom, I took her picture of her blowing out her candles and I posted that on my Facebook page."
The moment was a cause of glowing smiles for some, but gloomy frowns for others.
The picture caught the attention of administrators of Kenneys private school, the Whitfield Academy, who found no reason to celebrate with the teen. In fact, they called the image just the latest incident in two years worth of the students lifestyle violations."

Trump. Is they've been told by their authoritarian religious leaders that the Jello Submarine is a harbinger of the end-times and Jesus is right around the corner.
They can hardly wait to die and go to Heaven just as soon as they finish screwing up the World.
I guess Pence is Jesus?

(31,261 posts)Could their behavior be due to life in general sucking for them, so they want to end their suffering and reach their nirvana, but they believe suicide sends them to hell?

(33,222 posts)Because, by in large, these people are in addition to being truly the most destitute of the poor and disadvantaged are also the definition of sheeple.
They don't vote and the only news and information they possess is what they've heard second hand from various religious authorities. They have been beaten down for generations and exploited by the likes of Trump and the Republicans, they see no way forward.
It's tragic and there are many of them in certain areas. So, yeah, the end-times would be a relief to them.
Then there's another group... A more dangerous gang who have several failed marriages and bankruptcies behind them. They're angry and they want someone to pay for their misery. But, you've already heard that story.

Cute sweatshirt and cake. I wouldn't suspect a statement from it. My daughter wears tons of rainbows. She's 9. She loves them. And I love acceptance of all people, so I'm fucking cool with it.

(14,498 posts)to share private moments, potentially with the entire planet. In our naivete, we tend to forget there are evil control freaks all about.
How many kids have taken their own lives due to emotional effects of social media posts? Secondly, how many kid's lives and futures have been radically affected forever due to a single social media post?
This so-called "academy" is a spin-off of a mega-church in Louisville, raking in millions from local sheeple. So, if one wants to maintain an obedient flock of sheeple, you must be in control of their brainwashing (oops.....religucation).
I wonder if the "academy" considered the psychological effects their decision may have on this child for the rest of her life...
Fascists of all strips prefer their kids stay in full dress-uniform at all times to prevent them from claiming their own identity and personality.
