    Especially if they can’t give any other examples where use of vulgar and disrespectful language off campus and outside of school hours led to a student being expelled (which is what withholding a diploma is effectively)

      The article appears to contradict itself - it says they’re withholding her diploma but also that they’re mailing it to her and simply not allowing her to participate in the graduation ceremony. I hope she does get the diploma mailed to her so she can put this behind her.

        [The letter from the Tennessee Preparatory Christian School] goes on to read, “Morgan will not comment about the school or people associated with the school. If online slander continues, records of posts and messages will be forwarded to colleges and universities as part of a comprehensive student file. If the above are not adhered to, Morgan Armstrong’s diploma will be withheld and not mailed on June 15, 2025.”

          Yes, they’re threatening to withhold it but unless there’s something I missed, they haven’t declared that they are withholding it.
