Kayla Kenney wore a rainbow sweater and enjoyed a birthday cake with rainbow frosting in a photo that caught her Christian school's attention
The mother of a Kentucky teenager says her daughter was expelled from her Christian school for celebrating “attitudes that are counter to [its] philosophy” after she happily posed in a rainbow sweater with a rainbow cake while celebrating her birthday.
Not long after, however, Alford said she received a letter from the head of school, Dr. Bruce Jacobson, who said Kayla was getting the boot “due to a post on social media,” theThe letter reportedly said that the photo “demonstrates a posture of morality and cultural acceptance contrary to that of Whitefield Academy’s beliefs,” and that Kayla had exhibited two years of “lifestyle violations.”
The meeting referred to in the statement occurred in October after Kayla was found with Juul pods in her backpack, Alford told theThe freshman was allegedly put on probation after the meeting, though her mother said that since then, there “have been no disciplinary issues.
Though the rainbow flag has long been a symbol of LGBTQ pride, Alford told WAVE that Kayla’s rainbow outfit and birthday cake were completely unrelated, and that she’d simply asked the bakery for a dessert with “assorted colors.”
