Love a happy ending:

"First, let me say that I have apologized to the Timonets and I am hopeful that my scheduled meeting with Kaylee's mom will rectify this situation and allow Kaylee to enjoy the remainder of her senior year at Walker High School," St. Pierre said. "As principal of Walker High School, I am faced daily with many difficult decisions for the interest of our students and employees that are never taken lightly. Please know that I always strive to place our students first in every decision. It is for that reason that I have taken this corrective action," he added.

Livingston Parish Public Schools Superintendent Joe Murphy told FOX 8 on Monday that St. Pierre has requested to take leave for the rest of the academic year. "Walker High School Principal Jason St. Pierre has requested to take leave for the remainder of the 2023-2024 school year. The district office is awaiting his paperwork to process his request," Murphy said.

Looks like principal morality police here won’t have a job come next year.

There's an update to this story. Found it at the end of the article.

Louisiana principal apologizes for punishing student’s off-campus dancing

Public school principal reinstates 17-year-old’s leadership role and scholarship endorsement and requests leave for rest of school year

Why the fuck is a public school principal lecturing students on faith and God's will?

Our species is on the brink of self-destruction on numerous fronts due to the private profit motive bastardizing world economies and new technologies to work against the species that created them to maximize short-term profit above all else.

How should we address these many crises, nitwits of the human race?

"Dancing and women having sex for pleasure must be stopped!"

This is the basic plot to the film Footloose.

Religious zealots want to forbid dancing and dancers should be ashamed of themselves.

What I think has happened here is that the Principal did not look at this video with the lens of kids having fun but instead as something more adult. He is likely ashamed of his own feelings that he felt when he watched the video and is hiding behind religion and fake moral outrage. He redirected his own shame to this poor kid who has now missed out on a chance for a scholarship. He should not be in a position of authority in the education system.

Dude it's not Iran.
