I tell my kids all the time. Do not do anything you don’t want caught on camera. In this world anything can be brought up against you in your future.

But also, like, dancing with your friends shouldn’t ruin your future because your school system imposes their religious values as a moral “code”.

A PUBLIC school system. Parents should sue the absolute fuck out of the school for using religion to justify a punishment.

Assumed it was a christian school based on her comment. A public school pulling this is absolutely unacceptable.

hard agree some poor kid getting molested by a priest praying to cold dead silence… either gods sending kidfuckers to earth or he’s just standing by and watching it happen. I feel like churning down a burch

100% agree kids should be allowed to be kids and do things like dance and have fun. Reminds me of back in the day comments like “leave room for Jesus” when dancing and “Rock n roll is from the devil” its fricking 2923 keep your religion out of my life

I never said that. I never made a comment about the person in the article. Just my life experience. We are all free to do whatever want. I would never yuck somebody else’s yum. It’s just sad in this age almost everything you do can be brought up against you in the future. I just want my kids to be aware of this and that is all.

Rally’s comment is generally good advice, and doesn’t place blame on anyone.

It’s in response to a girl getting punished for being recorded doing nothing wrong. Read the room and the context. It absolutely is victim blaming.

God. God cares. He loves everyone and is omnipotent, but also really judgy and bitchy because reasons. And he’s watching you so closely that you can reach out and touch his bloodshot ethereal eyeball. Well, if it wasn’t ethereal, anyway. So don’t ever let that aspirin fall from between your knees. He’ll know if it does. And send plague of Karens to shame you. But only because he loves you and demands obedience.

No no, first the Karens have to find that out, God won’t tell them even if he’s literally aware of everything that happens in the world. He’s kinda lazy if you ask me.

I completely agree with you. The sad fact is that many people care. I don’t condone it. I have done a lot of dumb things that would have a large life impact on my life if they were caught on camera.

Wow, I went to sleep, and my comment got bombed to hell.

Let me clarify to anyone reading these comments. I don’t agree at all with what happened to this girl. It’s unfair and wrong on so many levels. The principle comments are gross and uncalled for.

All I did was put advise out there that I give to my children to help navigate that world as we see it.

No reasonable person should be afraid to be filmed dancing. The video was completely innocent and the principal at this school is clearly a religious creep.

In this world today there is also no way to avoid being filmed anyway.

You expect us to believe your comment has nothing to do with the article, and just by coincidence, you happened to post “I tell my kids not to do anything they wouldn’t want being filmed” in response to an article about someone facing consequences for somebody else doing something that was filmed, and we are all the bad guys for unfairly assuming tha your comment had anything at all to do with the article it was posted in response to?

They are related of course. That is the point of a discussion post. But the jump to victim shaming is improper. I am not saying anyone is a bad guy here, never have or implied that. Just stating my point and people are assuming things about my post. I’ll take it as a learning lesson to be clearer in the future.

Sometimes yes. Look at how the comments on this got taken and twisted.

Fact is this girl was doing nothing wrong but due to others beliefs she has lost something she has worked hard for.

In your own words, according to you, she did do something wrong: she did she wouldn’t want being filmed. (Note: she wasn’t actually the one twerking.)

Look at how the comments on this got taken and twisted.

Nobody twisted your comments. We just read what you wrote and considered the context in which you wrote it. (That last detail is something you seem to have not done.)

2003: don’t do anything stupid, maybe there’s some camera that can record it.

I think twerking is pretty stupid, but I have nothing against stupid things. I love doing them and as long as you’re not hurting other people you should be free to be as stupid as you want without anyone judging you.

This would entirely depend on the dance in question.

I don’t think stupid dances are going to hurt anything though. At least, not until one’s kids find it when they’re in HS…
