The Cheerleader incident was against our son's high school. It was a state quarterfinal football game and the sign the opposing cheers held up at the beginning for the team to break through while running onto the field said "Rape The Raptors."
The Activities director of the opposing school saw the sign too late and marched the three cheerleaders who made the sign over to the opposite side of the field and made them appologize to "our" cheerleaders -- most of whom didn't see the offending sign. The three cheers have been suspended from cheering.
I think this was just an unfortunate situation where the three girls who made the sign didn't really think about how offensive the word is. They know now.
I hope this doesn't turn into a huge deal. Sometimes even well intentioned people do and say dumb things.
