@tullyconleth And you need to get a life and stop trying to make vulnerable kids feel bad about themselves. She is not fat, she is just right. Obviously you have been looking at way to many photoshopped pictures of models. In case you don't know, even they aren't THAT skinny.

@edindzeko00000 Really? How big is it?

What a courageous young woman! If the ignorant, arrogant assholes in the school administration would have simply done the right thing -- and followed the law -- they could have saved the taxpayers a lot of legal fees.

[edindzeko00000]

I'd bone her.

Jessica Ahlquist, Thanks :-)

@SpaceBackSpace No, my argument is it was not attacking her way of life, and if the words our heavenly father and amen was taken out would it not of been offensive? The banner was not asking anyone to convert to a religion, it just outlined the morals of the school and set a more religious context from the 50's.

Teens are the biggest assholes today.
