  • Did you read the article?

    The lawsuit claims this is a violation of the schools disciplinary policy as well as a breach of her tuition contract.

    Neither of those are religious discrimination. Based on the schools own policy the first offense should result in a single day in school suspension yet they skipped the normal process and applied the strictest punishment they could.

    Also, they continued to collect or kept, I can’t remember the language used, the tuition paid but wouldn’t fulfill the obligation required for that tuition.



  • Your invalid assumption is that those actions make someone nice.

    I never made that assumption, you did. I provided the quoted explanation from Wikipedia and stated that was a pretty accurate description of the terms meaning.

    You know damn well that the correct answer is non committal. “yes we should do that soon”. Under no circumstances was this a real invitation and you do not start suggesting dates.

    I don’t know that because I’ve been in that situation and actually followed through. It really seems like you’re kind of a dick and use Minnesota Nice as an excuse.


  • Here I thought a good way to describe it was as a cultural stereotype applied to the behavior of people from the U.S. state of Minnesota, implying residents are unusually courteous, reserved, and mild-mannered compared to people from other states. The phrase also implies polite friendliness, an aversion to open confrontation, a tendency toward understatement, a disinclination to make a direct fuss or stand out, apparent emotional restraint, and self-deprecation.

    Minnesota Nice does not mean “nice to your face” but you seem like one of those people who wants to use it as an insult instead.



  • It’s not but it’s not really an insult either unless your a dick who’s misusing the term.

    Minnesota nice is a cultural stereotype applied to the behavior of people from the U.S. state of Minnesota, implying residents are unusually courteous, reserved, and mild-mannered compared to people from other states. The phrase also implies polite friendliness, an aversion to open confrontation, a tendency toward understatement, a disinclination to make a direct fuss or stand out, apparent emotional restraint, and self-deprecation.

    Having spent a number of decades in Minnesota I’d say Wikipedia pretty accurately captures Minnesota Nice.
