The head cheerleader at one Massachusetts high school has been banned from cheering for the rest of the season after she tweeted an offensive comment about immigrants.
Caley Godino, a senior at Revere High School in Revere, Massachusetts, was asked to watch the political debates leading up to the 2016 presidential election. Her teacher tweeted a comment about the low voter turnout for November's mayoral race, which prompted Caley to post a controversial tweet.
"When only 10 percent of Revere votes for mayor cause the other 90 percent isn't legal," she reportedly tweeted. (Her profile is private.)
As of 2010, 27 percent of Revere's population was born outside the United States. Caley says she intended the comment to express her political views, not her views on race, according to MyFoxBoston.com. Her political views were inspired by Donald Trump. But after several students complained, school officials
"If you're going to stand up and say something that other people will find offensive, then you need to be prepare to deal with the ramifications of that," Superintendent Dianne Kelley told MyFoxBoston.com.
Caley is now banned from cheering for the rest of the season, according to her mother.
The superintendent said that the tweet was not the sole cause for Caley's punishment, though out of concern for student privacy, could not comment further. Students and teachers at Revere High are now joining together to create a curriculum to address diversity and acceptance.
I am offended at what Superintendent Dianne Kelley told MyFoxBoston.com. and demand that she be fired. If it s good for the goose...its good for the fascist gander!
I find this Superintendent’s brown-shirt attitude most offensive and deeply in need of adjustment...
What’s the problem?
She was inspired by Trump.
No. By tolerant, Hannah Orenstein means rigidly intolerant.
Hmmm. Orenstein, Orenstein... Isn't that a...
Better watch your step, Hannah, or you'll be next.
Freedom of speech? What was that?
No go get about 7K and really sue the snot out of them.
what was offensive?
Hope this kid gets a lawyer and sues.
Looks like the school wants to impose Soviet style re-education camps.
Can I opine on her pay and pension?
I hope the girl’s family sues that fascist broad Dianne Kelley.
That Cheerleader is smart...
“Students do not shed their constitutional rights as they
enter a public school/schoolhouse door”- paraphrase...
I believe she just earned the cash to attend the most expensive college she wants with a few million left over.
( ; )She just made a statement of fact as she believed the fact to be.
I’m so tired of this crap. Why don’t normal people start fighting back against injustices like this? Why can’t conservatives form groups that use the same tactics as BLM? It’s time we started getting in the faces of these little fascists and make their lives very uncomfortable. So sick of our side being “nice”.
This is an infringement on her free speech rights. The government(government school) punished her for expressing her opinion.
I might as well be the one to make the snarky comment:
Which Freeper male wants to be the one to give the spanking?
If you’re going to stand up and say something that other people will find offensive, then you need to be prepare to deal with the ramifications of that,” Superintendent Dianne Kelley told MyFoxBoston.com.
If she’d instead said, “F*** all white people,” they would have had to make her homecoming queen.
The only thing these liberals understand is force, in this case a lawsuit.
> diversity and acceptance
Or else.
“Students and teachers at Revere High are now joining together to create a curriculum to address diversity and acceptance.”
A curriculum that evidently demands uniformity of thought and punishes differing points of view. How perfectly ironic.
Seems like grounds for a 1st Amendment violation lawsuit-—she was punished for expressing her own opinion in a public forum.
Anything that opposes Leftist dogma is offensive. See how this works?
