Well I think we, collectively as people, need to get a grip . . .

I mean lets think, signs saying "kill the raptors", "destroy the raptors", humilate the . . . etc would probably have passed with little comment . . .

But "rape the Raptors" . . .

So the brilliant teachers march them across the field and basically make a big deal of it by publicly humilaiting them and to the opposing cheerleaders, when the sign was 99 percent likely to be geared towards the football team, cause that is what cheerleaders do, bash the opposing team while praising their own . . .

And if that is not enough they decided to suspend them . . . if I were one of their parents I would be talking to my attourney about getting the suspension removed from my daughters record and an apology about frog marching them across the field to apologize in public like that.

I mean wouldn't a simple: hey girls please don't use that word again have been enough? Unless they think the girls were being cold, calculating, and acting with malice to try and inflame onlookers and make some kind of point . . . if that were true the girls could get the ACLU to defend their Freedom of Speech.

Ahh but I forgot that teachers and administrators don't much believe in the Bill of Rights . . . And they teach our Young . . .

You know just when I start to think highly of Teachers and get caught up in the idea of a Noble Calling . . . but then something like this happens and I remember that old adage:

Those that can: do.
Those that can't: Teach.
Those that Can't teach: Administer . . .

Sigh . . . poor girls.
