FORT WORTH, Texas - Girl volleyball players at a Fort Worth middle school were asked by their coaches to play a game of "strip serve" volleyball, which school administrators criticized as inappropriate after some parents complained. During the drill, held Sept. 21 at the Gene Pike Middle School gym, two girls took their shirts off and one girl may have taken off her shorts, district officials said. Three female coaches supervised the 22 eighth-graders while they played the game, which required that team members take off shoes, socks, kneepads or hair accessories if a player missed a serve. After a few girls took it upon themselves to undress further, the drill was immediately stopped, administrators said. The drill should have never been conducted, Northwest Independent School District Superintendent Keith Sockwell said on Monday. "I thought it was the most stupid thing I ever heard. You just don't do things like that," he said. An investigation began after several parents complained about the activity. Statements were taken from the players and the coaches, officials said. The girls' written statements indicated that, for the most part, they were not upset about the game, Pike Principal Kyle Copp said. The coaches were "remorseful," he said. The three coaches, whom the district declined to name, are still employed, Deputy Superintendent Ron Hibbs said. Some parents said that even though the coaches apologized to the players, they should have been punished. "It's an appalling story," said the mother of a Pike volleyball player, who asked that her name not be used. "They got no reprimand for this that the kids could see. Nobody sees that there's consequences to bad choices." Said another: "I think it was an error in judgment, and that's all it was - plain and simple." |
Maybe not of these particular girls -- 8th graders. Remember: 13 will get you 20.
Naw. Sticking your face in a fan is far stupider...
Why?
These jerks could discover this purported error in judgment has contractual or even legal consequences.
The FIRST error in judgment had to be the day these three adult imposters were hired.
What the f***?
I'm glad someone else is taking the heat.
But a Møøse once bit my sister while she was playing strip volleyball. Got her right in the service.
Why?
Silly goose, you can't fire a dyke! That just isn't politically correct.
Why is it that these dumbasses think that classifying their outrageous behavior as "errors in judgment" exonerates them?
OF 8th GRADERS !!!??? your on the wrong board...
Oh, all right... |
If the coaches were male does anyone think they would still be employed?
The real question: What's the difference between 3 Lezzies gawking at girls vs. 3 guys...????
