Cleveland private school says they will give student who came out as gay her diploma
A high school senior is suing her own school in Cleveland under claims thatthey suspended her from school and are withholding her diploma after she came out as
They suspended this girl for coming out as a lesbian on Facebook, and withheld her degree. Threatened to retaliate if she made further comments on social media.
Sick sad fucks.
Hope she takes them to the cleaners, a paid for private school diploma is not contingent on sexual orientation
SCOTUS has ruled that privately held companies can have religious discrimination, established in Burwell v Hobby Lobby (2014) allowed hobby lobby to refuse providing contraceptive Healthcare coverage to their employees. I would not be surprised by the current court siding with the school over the student.
Did you read the article?
The lawsuit claims this is a violation of the schools disciplinary policy as well as a breach of her tuition contract.
Neither of those are religious discrimination. Based on the schools own policy the first offense should result in a single day in school suspension yet they skipped the normal process and applied the strictest punishment they could.
Also, they continued to collect or kept, I can't remember the language used, the tuition paid but wouldn't fulfill the obligation required for that tuition.
"Gay student allowed to graduate" being news in 2025 is really good and fun and fine.
Stay safe, American queers (and PoC, and women, and honestly at this point everyone in the US... maybe except Trump supporters.)
Only the bourgeoisie are safe now
Even those.
Don't read the comments under the article. Just homophobic fuck heads.
That's always true of news sites. And Facebook.
FYI, in case anybody is interested in sharing their thoughts on the schools behavior in a polite manner, the head of the school's email is publicly available on the school website.
If they were going to cave that easily why even try the flex at all? Like surely they knew shit would go over like a lead balloon right?
That's just toeing the water. Seeing if the fragile skin of the fascist can withstand the temperature.
Surely if she passed then she passed and they can't do anything about it?
They wouldn’t let her take her finals.
They also were not complying with their own social media policy. Even if this hadn’t been a group chat with her friends, their own policies stated that a social media violation was a single day suspension.
