An honor student at a Louisiana high school just had a scholarship endorsement taken away after video of her “twerking” at a homecoming after-party was shared online.

According to a report, 17-year-old senior Kaylee Timonet had her scholarship taken away and was removed as student government association president because of a video posted by a DJ at a private party Timonet was attending.

The video, which has since been deleted from social media, had shown Timonet dancing at a homecoming party with friends.  The DJ who had posted the video said he felt that the dancing was not bad, and it was just kids having fun. Timonet's mother was also in attendance at the dance, and says she felt that the dancing was not worthy of stripping these accolades from her daughter.

Apparently, school officials felt otherwise and called Timonet into the office to discuss the video.  You can get the full report in the video below from WAFB.

The local community is gathering in support of Timonet and are actually selling shirts with slogans in favor of her dancing.  The family is still working on things with the school and officials.

The situation has also stirred up other questions on social media. Should educators be allowed to punish students based on things that happened outside of school grounds? The same really goes for employers.

10 Fictional Dates from Movies Everyone Should Know

Throughout movie history, various dates within them have taken on special meaning thanks to pop culture.

Some dates had crucial roles in the plots of films and helped provide an overall setting. Other dates have become unique one-liners that have become part of the general lexicon. If you're a fan of Mean Girls, there's a specific date you associate with the movie, and it's not its release date. The same can be applied to Back to the Future, The Breakfast Club, Empire Records, Miss Congeniality and more.

From the funny to the frightening, here are ten fictional dates from movies everyone should know.

October 3 (Mean Girls)

This is a truly momentous date in all of cinema. October 3 is now unofficially called #MeanGirlsDay across all of social media.

November 5, 1955 (Back to the Future)

A true red-letter date, indeed. Even if you aren't a Back to the Future superfan, you're still at least aware of the importance of November 5, 1955.

December 25, 1985 (Rocky IV)

AKA: The day Rocky Balboa ended the Cold War. [Cues John Cafferty's "Hearts on Fire"] In all seriousness, though, did anyone else find it weird Rocky and Adrian didn't bring their son to Russia for the fight?

December 24, 1988 (Die Hard)

[Insert "Die Hard is a Christmas movie" rant here.] Again, in all seriousness, it's hard to imagine action film history without this classic, regardless of where you fall in the Christmas film debate.

February 14, 2016 (Ghostbusters II)

"Valentine's Day. Bummer." Side note: Hey, the world didn't end! How about that for a silver lining?!

March 24, 1984 (The Breakfast Club)

On this fateful day, a brain, an athlete, a basket case, a princess and a criminal served detention. Teen films were never the same. We'll never forget about this John Hughes gem.

April 8 (Empire Records)

"We mustn't dwell. No, not today. We can't. Not on Rex Manning day!" Related thought: "Say No More, Mon Amour" is an undeniable bop. If you say otherwise, you're simply lying to yourself.

April 25 (Miss Congeniality)

Honestly, Miss Rhode Island isn't wrong. All you really need is a light jacket. Depending on where you live, you may not even need the jacket! What a perfect date, indeed!

July 4, 1996 (Independence Day)

"Perhaps, it's fate today is the fourth of July, and you will once again be fighting for our freedom." Independence Day is so delightfully over the top, and this scene below perfectly encapsulates its melodrama.

August 29, 1997 (Terminator 2: Judgement Day)

"On August 29, 1997, it's gonna feel pretty f---ing real to you too!" A very dark scene, but on the plus side, there wasn't an apocalypse in reality. So, yay?
