What exactly are they teaching those high school boys in Tennessee?
So Ambrea Phillips used to be a student at Anderson County High School, in Tennessee (she’s in college now). Ambrea was an honor student and she ran track. During at time at Anderson County High, she signed up for a weightlifting class, one would assume to help with her track conditioning. However, after signing up for this class, the school’s principal threw her out of it.
Ask me why. Go ahead.
He threw her out of the class because he was worried that the boys in the class would…wait for it…try to rape her. As he put it, “[h]aving a female with 35 or so male students in an isolated area from the school, it sets a very liable situation in my opinion.” And so, rather than trying to deal with his rape-happy male student population, he figured he’d just throw the chick out.
Although he reinstated her three days later, she contends that the whole thing made her physically ill, and so she and her pops are now suing the school for sex discrimination, seeking $1 million. The school has moved to have the case dismissed under the argument that she didn’t suffer any academic harm, since she was reinstated a few days later.
So according to these guys, no academic harm, no sexual discrimination. Tennessee parents, be proud - your tax dollars are funding a first rate high school education!
