Stupid Iranian kid. Getting sick and tired these aholes coming over and trying destroy this greatest nation in history. You ain’t no American.
It's a feminized version of Aryan - as in Nazi.
I find it offensive that a few communists can ruin a tradition for the entire student body. As this occurred in our local school district (though thankfully not our high school) I know how I will be using my 2 minutes at the next school board meeting ...
Drop national funding for it!
