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.

They are related of course.

I’m curious to know what you think the connection is.

I’ll take it as a learning lesson to be clearer in the future.

Thats probably a good idea.
