i read the article. i mentioned that someone needed to explain to mom that a ‘child’ needs a childhood.

a ‘teenage’ cheerleader is not a ‘child’ cheerleader.

But you DO NOT have the right to put a gun to my head and make me obey your decision. That is essentially what this parent is attempting to do. She is trying to force the group to abide by her decision.

No, she is not trying to force them to do anything. The girl's parents REQUESTED the group to remove that one cheer from the cheerleading team program. The group then voted to keep the cheer, and also voted to expel the girl because the girl's parents had the audacity to question a cheer they considered to be inappropriately risque for 6 y/o girls. When the group took this vindictive and hateful action against their child, the parents let the media know about it.

Way back when....The cheer was “Kick um in, Kick um in, Kick um in the end zone.

Or, "Die, you gravy-sucking pigs."

So, one parent disagreed and pushed the matter. The Team responded by tossing the kid out and the team moved forward. Fine, that’s the way the team works - Democracy in action.

So your idea of democracy in action is if one person brings a concern to the group and asks the group to change something, the proper response is to simply kick the person out of the group?

“the coach is in idiot”

idiots should be granted quarter, because they are idiots.

in this case, the parents and the school that permitted this situation are the idiots deserving of no quarter; none will be necessary.

this is a minor issue of no importance.

idiots rule... for now.

Do you honestly think the team tossed her out for asking a question? Have you encountered such a group? Now I have seen parents become rude and obnoxious when they don’t get their way. And my club asked them to please leave.

Or must all clubs be at the mercy of the most obnoxious parent?

Personally I think kindergarten is a bit young for cheerleading. I wouldn’t encourage my granddaughters to be cheerleaders, especially at 6 years of age. I admire the team for having a backbone.... At least they took a stand, which is far more than we get from our congressmen.

Were you there? How do you know what you stated? Does that seem plausible to you? It sounds about as far from the truth as I can imagine. Ever coached Little League? Ever watched parents and how they treat a coach at the game when they think Little Jonny didn't get enough turns at bat? Are they generally polite or are some of them jerks? THE TEAM UNAMINOUSLY VOTED THEM OFF THE TEAM. Coincidence?

Its not just you.

And I don't even have kids.

Granted, I wouldn't have liked the cheer either, but what are you teaching a 6 year old in the first place, being on a cheerleading team?

If this ISN'T your goal for your little girl

Then why start her on that road at 6?

If a young girl becomes comfortable dancing in front of men like this

How much of a leap would it be for her to "dance" in front of men like this?

At six, this is like the schools having their own little beauty contestants. I agree....it’s just wrong...And they’re cheering who??

Leave it to the sick freaks to make a six year old child into the scapegoats.
