‘curvier’ high school swimmer won — only to be disqualified because of a ‘suit wedgie’

snip...

Speaking with The Post on Monday night, Langford said she was angered at the treatment of the teenager, whom she described as “literally the nicest young lady.” It wasn’t the first time the girl had been made to feel that her curvy figure was problematic: Last year, a parent took a photo of her backside and shared it with other parents to demonstrate that girls on the team were wearing inappropriate swimwear. (District officials said Monday that Dimond High School’s assistant principal “indicated to the parent who took the photographs that it was not permissible for him to take pictures of others’ children and that he should stop immediately.”)

WTF, creepy asshole, have you no decency?

Thankfully, they are reviewing it. LisaM Sep 2019 #21

They're "reviewing it" before the lawsuit they'd eventually lose is filed. n/t PoliticAverse Sep 2019 #23

Well, whatever. There's a chance the ruling will be overturned. I think that's good. LisaM Sep 2019 #29

It will be overturned because their attorneys will advise them to quit before it costs them. n/t PoliticAverse Sep 2019 #30

OK, but maybe the school district also thinks it's right. LisaM Sep 2019 #31

I'm not sure why you think I'm being hostile, I'm merely commenting as to what I believe PoliticAverse Sep 2019 #32
