This is another reason why private parochial schools should never receive a dime
of public funding.

It was just a fucking CAKE!!!
FFS!!!

Pro tip: Do not enroll your child into a conservative private school if you do not want your child to be expelled for frivolous reasons.

So maybe this will be a tipping point for the parents to question why the hell they enrolled their kids in religious school.
My dad was a convert to Catholicism and we went to Catholic school all during grade school. Luckily there were no issues. We then moved from Texass to Calif. and went to public school. What a breath of fresh air.

Glad the girl is in a public school. Bigots will hate for the sheer joy of hating.

Well, she is certainly better off not going to that school.

Even under a theocracy I don't really get the crime. The cake was rainbow, so what? Colorful birthday cakes are a thing. Was she eating it while being gently masturbated or scissored by another girl? Is that what set them off? No? So the activity they found so offensive was that she ate a piece of colorful birthday cake and the Xian Gestapo went apeshit over that.

I'd look for the most litigious lawyer I could find and see if we had a case for a lawsuit.

Sometimes a rainbow is...a rainbow.

But I'm glad she got expelled from a CHRISTIAN PRIVATE SCHOOL.

It's like escaping from brainwashing camp. She inadvertently saved herself from indoctrination.

I was driving through Northern Indiana a couple months ago and saw an "Evangelical Day Care" with their big ass sign and cross. They were painted in rainbow colors - I expect the irony was lost on them. Maybe now a mad rush of parents will get them repainted - black.

Hope that school gets the shaming they deserve for being retarded enough to assume that rainbow anything automatically = LGBTQ. Sometimes a rainbow is just a pretty assortment of colors, or something associated with St. Patty's Day, or what 'god' sent after the flood as a covenant with humanity, or just a cool natural phenomenon.

Hateful bigots.

My daughter wanted a rainbow cake for her 9th birthday. I did frosting like tie-dye.

It was fun to make birthday cakes for family and friends whatever they wanted.

I know this place, (ky), is bad but this! It's been on the national news and all over the media and I still don't want to believe it.

Be aware here that the very first time I saw this today she was expelled for wearing a rainbow shirt. Later on it changed to the birthday cake. What it means is that someone in social media is pulling our chains and they want to keep us busy and occupied. It can be about politics or people getting paid by clicks (views) on something they post. It might even be both.

I cannot read the article as I am not a subscriber, but i get the gist.

The title is laughable, except it is serious.

They know that they can't defend 'Whitefield Academy’s beliefs' -- from school's head Bruce Jacobson's sent letter of expulsion -- so all they can do is try to isolate themselves from other views. Read that as "cover their ears and go 'la, la, la' as loud as they can".

As others here have noted, the student is much better off elsewhere. I hope it isn't too much trouble to move.

I will eat the cake today
I will eat it any day
I will eat the cake and say
Fuck these ASSHOLES anyway.

By Henry Gibson

Simply stupid act on the part of the school.

More cake for us.

What about Mitch McConnell? Is he not from Kentucky? Why is not he being punished? Sticking up for a criminal in the white house?

Right wingers are just paranoid and are haters! Look at what is in our senate and all the lies protecting a so called lying president who has made 15,000 false statements since being elected! And to think the evangelicals like this man?

Sorry, but the whole issue of people having issues with the rainbow is hilarious to me.

First a rainbow is an optical science effect.
As a boy the rainbow "belonged" to the Christians, it was God's sign, God's promise.
Then, in the 60's-early 70's, the hippies, then the hippie freaks not only annexed it, but often melted it in tie dye fashion with the same colorations.
This irritated the religious then, not only the rainbows, but associating the rainbow with the hippies and LSD.
Somewhere in the late 80's is the first time I recall it being used for gay rights, which just cracked me up. They were annoyed hippies LIKED the rainbow and used the color scheme and the rainbow, and here come the gays who turn it into their heraldry!

NOW, instead of the Christians seeing a rainbow birthday cake as EVIDENCE of a persons faith in God's Promise, they react as if your instantly Gay for using one!
and the hippies and hippie freaks got let off the hook.

Disgusting display of HATE!

Jesus christ!

Is this story corroborated?

Perhaps instead of the cross these christians should start worshiping a nore appropriate cross, the swastika.
