Wow, just wow.

Although the comments are almost as stupid. Particularly the second person who gets offended at the use of the term "sissie".

She got a point actually. "Sissy" is one of the many words used to imply gender differences, usually used to insult boys as too feminine. Of course most people do not use it out of sexism, but it is something to consider, and perhaps try to eradicate in ones own use of language.

Why should they keep a cheerleader who won't cheer for the players?

They should show some human decency in the treatment of their students. Going by the article(s) they have been very inconsiderate outside of the cheerleading issue, while they've been far more forgiving with her assaulter. Additional, one small cheer should not really be a deal breaker, and they should be looked down upon by the community for their vile behavior, even if it is legally within their right to deny her to continue being a cheerleader for any reason.

I see, she just refused to shout his name during the cheering. I thought she'd refused much more than that. Still, I can see why they wouldn't want a cheerleader who was less than enthusiastic.

The "advice" they gave her is much more sickening to me than kicking her off the team.

I agree.

However I think one can draw a line between being less than enthusiastic to cheer for ones school vs. ones rapist. I also think people could use their common sense a bit more at times, especially in schools where blindly bureaucratic decisions seem to be very prevalent (though in this case it seems more like heartless opportunism).

To be fair that's all from the two articles I read, maybe there were additional circumstances.

The girl isnt cheering for the person but rather the team. If she doesn't want to cheer she shouldn't be a cheerleader. Since when do Cheerleaders care about the sport or team they're cheering for anyway? I doubt cheerleaders even know what sport they're cheering for half the time. This was a bad display of team play and immaturity. She even tried to sue the school lol

He plea bargained to an assault charge. No jail time. Community service apparently. 2500$ Fine and anger management.

A fair deal for attacking and gang raping a young girl.

how is her getting kicked off of the cheer-squad the issue here?

like, of the long list of terrible things that have happened to this girl, being kicked out of a club for not doing what is expected of her seems the least newsworthy...

Well, it definitely makes the best story. Raped girl having to choose between cheering for the rapist or get kicked of the team...that's sophie's choice-esque.

how about : why do we think it is healthy for a rape victim to be in such constant, and symbollically subordinate, contact with her assailant?

Like, don't get me wrong, her choices in life shouldn't be reduced because she is a victim, but we shouldn't be looking at this as though her participation on the cheer team was a good thing, given the circumstances.

Why didn't the state transfer her to a different school?

idk, I know that isn't the argument you are making, but it seems like this is just the obvious outcome to a series of very poor decisions on everyone's part, and maybe HS gets to be excused for hers, because she is the victim of one of the most traumatic experiences a person can go through.

Man, you have a lot to learn about modern media stick out tongue


No, but I agree with you, like Sym and I talked about, the other things are much worse, kicking her off the High School team is surely one of the least things and perhaps in some way justifiable.

Though I don't think H.S. is at fault for anything, she has to deal with the cards she's been given, and to try to go on with her life, including the things she likes to do, without being intimidated by her rapist or the school who seems to try to cover it up in some ways is a rather brave thing to do, imo.
