Well, "will say" isn't the same thing as "did say."
From the linked Advocate article: "The principal will say 'Well, you're gay. You're not going to do anything with your life. You might as well just drop out now,'" Hicks said. "It's stuff to put you down that makes you want to drop out."
And according to a report from dailykos, the reenrollment issue is because Hicks doesn't live in the district, and because she's not McKenzie's legal guardian, McKenzie no longer meets the residency requirements to attend Del City High.
I mean, they should amend that discrimination policy to include sexual orientation in order to prevent situations like this from coming up in the future, but it does not appear, even on Hicks's account, that the principal actually said those words.

@bluebears: Next you'll tell me you're against isthmus and peninsula people. where will it end?
Did someone say horror movie?
@Ms Meghan is Reppin' the Triforce: As lots of other commenters have pointed out, Portman said that being pretty is "boring," not "hard," which is true. She's Ivy League educated and the best thing people can come up with to focus on is her looks? Yawn.
But being pretty doesn't make life harder. On the whole, it makes life easier. More doors are open, more people want to associate with you, you make more money ([74.125.155.132] and sometimes people use you for your looks or you feel like you only got where you are because of how you look and that feels gross and sad.
But you still got there. Oh woe.

@Lucky: Karen Armstrong is p. great.
I'm reading Death Is Not an Option by Suzanne Rivecca and I've finally gotten around to White Noise, which I feel like is one of those books that I should have read years ago. Enjoying it a lot so far.

@DangerMouse: That's offensive ;)
So a pocketful of glitter isn't enough? We need inflatable slides?

The twentysomethings on drugs in divinity school aren't going for M.Div degrees. They're there because the M.A.s are cheap and the stipends are generous thanks to church people donating their hard-swindled cash money.
Sometimes the terrible places are the ones that sneak up on you and then all of a sudden you're inside a model home inside a Target with Christian music playing, eating food on a stick, like a Stepford Matryoshka doll.

@364unbirthdays: Probably because vanity is a better motivator than the promise of an extra couple years to live. Obviously. Why think about being old when you can think about being thin instead?
@hellosunshine: Oh, god, that's scary. Good luck.
I'm such a coward about breaking up with friends. I just figure the other party will get the picture if I never call, don't pick up the phone when they call, and decline all requests to get together, all because I can't envision an "I just don't like you very much" conversation going well. Maybe because I'm afraid it would turn into a Festivus-style Airing of Grievances.
I sure hope there's a knock-down, drag out Tumblr fight about this article later.

@Agumen: What's the natural urge for hairless armpits and legs (ladies only)?
The shift to one personality disorder from ten is pretty shocking. The difference between a person with schizotypal disorder and one with borderline personality disorder is striking to say the least, so that choice is really confusing to me.
DFW could have written a solid 1079 pages about this.
@bluebears: It's really unsettling to see someone whom you know has a long, thin neck with no neck at all. I had to scroll down really fast.
@fishsnake007: If she wanted to hire people with criminal records to work on her lawn now, she could. She left the governor's mansion, but she still has a home. There's also the issue of having to pay ex-cons way more than you have to pay the currently imprisoned. The state of South Carolina pays just about $35/day/inmate. Even if that $35/day were wages, and it isn't, that would even out to $4.38/hr for an 8 hour work day. The federal minimum wage is $7.25.
65% of the South Carolina inmate population is black. Just under 30% of the South Carolina population is black.
It seems impossible to overlook the racial dimension of forced labor making your lawn look really nice.
