BONER CANDIDATE #1: GOD VS. RAINBOWS
A Christian school in Louisville expelled a student last week after her family said school officials discovered the girl had celebrated her birthday with a rainbow-themed cake. Kimberly Alford told The Courier Journal that until Jan. 6, her 15-year-old daughter had been a freshman at Whitefield Academy, a private school at 7711 Fegenbush Lane that serves students in preschool through 12th grade. That’s when Alford said she received an email from Whitefield Academy’s head of school, Bruce Jacobson, explaining how her daughter was being expelled “immediately due to a post on social media.” Alford had recently posted a photo on her Facebook page showing her daughter celebrating her birthday in late December at a Texas Roadhouse restaurant. In the photo, the girl is wearing a sweater featuring a rainbow design and sitting by a colorful, rainbow-themed cake. Alford said someone shared the Facebook photo with Whitefield Academy officials. In the email, Alford said Jacobson wrote that the picture “demonstrates a posture of morality and cultural acceptance contrary to that of Whitefield Academy’s beliefs” and follows two years of “lifestyle violations.” Read More
BONER CANDIDATE #2: I NEVER USED THAT HAND TO TOUCH FOOD!
This will definitely ruin your appetite. A man visited the drive-thru at a McDonald’s in Pittsburgh, Pa., when he says he saw an employee standing with his hand stuck down his pants. While he didn’t appear to be wearing a uniform, he was standing in the kitchen at the time. “I was with my girlfriend and we were getting food for my daughter,” John Holieb explained to Fox News. “My girlfriend made a comment about how she can’t believe no one is wearing uniforms. Then she notices the guy with both hands down his pants. I looked and said, ‘WTF. This is crazy.’ There was a few of them just standing there talking. Then I reached for my phone and took two pictures.” He also explained that after the incident, a woman saying she was the general manager sent him a message. He shared a screenshot of the message, which said, “Good morning. My name is Kara. I am the [general manager] of the restaurant from your post. I just wanted to let you know that I had some employees send me your post this morning and wanted to let you know that the matter has been corrected immediately. I work hard to keep food safety as my top priority and I continue to do so. Please know that the owner and I have taken action.” Read More
