rktfeministing has its good days and its bad days. and most days, it just hast its days. (i missed the original from earlier this month.)
it linked to this story about a california lutheran high school that was just given the legal nod to allow expulsion a pair of students of the perceived lesbian persuasian, based on myspace pages as evidence. (well, that and they don't act like 'normal' female friends should act. whatever that means.)
oh a whim, but really already knowing what i would find,i followed feministing's link for the bastion of hate and, yes, bingo, it is a sister school to my old dive .
and no, not all lutherans are such incredible morons.
so i went back and read the ruling. some tattle-tale student started it all when zie told one of the pastor-teachers (male) about the page who then asked one of the girls if she had "... ever touched (the other student) ... in any inappropriat ways?" while looking her up and down .. EWWWWWWWWW.
also, i want to know what was cut out.
i know i've writ before on my high school experiences adding to my lateness in queer self-acknowledgement... the knowledge was there, but i refused to admit it. (i'd link back but some of them are filtered and i can't seem to be bothered at the moment to sift.) once upon a time, when wisconsin was trying to be cutting edge with school vouchers, my school rejected the notion of vouchers because they didn't want to get caught up in such a drama and losing. i was strong and spirited, but not that strong and spirited. and i wasted a whole lotta time fighting myself.
belief systems amaze me sometimes. no, really. they do.
and my heart goes out to the two students who had to go through so much bull shit in the name of "god". because, really? seriously?
i hated going to my school, beyond standard angst.
for a number of reasons, i was the most rejected of the females and didn't accept most of the religious mandates, but continued attending there largely because of other life events and my parent/s' refusal to let me go to a public school. (other stories....)
and i have a whole lot to say on the bi/lesbian hate drama going down, but i'm realizing how someway triggery i'm feeling so i'm going to wait for another day to process and then decide how public i want that processing to be.
i'm also bored enough to post a link to the group list for my alma mater on myspace. i have to decide though, if i'm masochistic enough. considering it was myspace that was the students' downfalls.....hmmmm.
(and fuck if i'm going to give that one publishing house original credit)
