REVERE, Mass. (Fox Boston) -- A local high school cheerleading
captain was disciplined after she sent out a tweet about illegal immigrants.
FOX25 spoke with the teen who says she was taking a page
from Donald Trump. Caley Godino is a senior at Revere High School and she says
part of their homework is to watch these presidential debates and her tweet was
simply about a hot button issue in the headlines.
"When only 10 percent of Revere votes for mayor
cause the other 90 percent isn't legal," Godino said in the tweet.
She says it was a response to a tweet from her teacher
about the low voter turnout for November's mayoral race.
Caley says she meant her tweet as a political comment,
not a racial one.
But after other students complained, the school stepped
in.
* COMPLAINED ABOUT WHAT...?!?! IF YOU DON'T LIKE WHAT THE
GIRL HAD TO SAY... TOUGH! UNSUBSCRIBE FROM HER TWITTER FEED!
Revere Superintendent Dianne Kelly says the district
believes in freedom of speech, but...
* FUNNY HOW THERE'S ALWAYS A "BUT..."
...cannot support what she calls insensitive language.
* AND THEY DON'T HAVE TO "SUPPORT" IT. (THIS IS
INSANE!)
"If you're going to stand up and say something that
other people will find offensive, then you need to be prepare to deal with the
ramifications of that," Kelly said.
* THIS WOMAN SHOULD BE FIRED! IMMEDIATELY! AND GODINO'S
PARENTS SHOULD SUE!
Caley's mother says her daughter who is the high school's
head cheerleader is now banned from cheering for the rest of the season and
doesn't think the punishment fits the crime.
* THERE SHOULD BE NO "PUNISHMENT!" GODINO DID
NOTHING WRONG!
Kelley said, the school did not discipline Caley because
of the tweet alone. But because of student privacy, she couldn't comment on
specifics.
(*SNORT*)
* IRONY INDEED, HUH?!
"I would just say that, not everything you read is a
full story of what's happening," Kelley told FOX25.
* OH, PLEEEASE...!!! IF YOU HAVE NOTHING TO HIDE...
THEN... DON'T HIDE BEHIND SUCH BULL$HIT!
Caley's mother told us the school decided to discipline
her daughter because of the intense backlash. Because of this controversy, the
school is now creating a group of teachers and students to come up with a
curriculum about diversity and acceptance.
