Ripon Cheerleaders suspended

#61
I have a 15 year old daughter and if she pulled a stunt like this, I'd have her ass at home myself. I've taught her to respect the authority of the school administrators and she should abide by the rules. I've also taught her to think for herself and I would hope she would think this situation is not worth the battle.

Another thing, if this stunt was so inconsequential that the punishment didn't fit the crime, why were these young ladies so driven to ignore the ruling? Seems like some parents need to teach their kids to pick their battles.

Yup. They be from CaliforNIaaay, so the sure be some kind
hippie coom-un-ists fer sure.

I think them all need some lessons in family valuoes,
as painted underwear have nevr been acceptable, not since
1890, and certAINLy not now.

Persoanlly, I think women, should be told exarctarly what
to wear, haow to behave, and if they don't toe da line, supsend
them birches arses, if not they gonna ruin the cuntry. And none
of that backssassing bulll. If that was my duaghtr,
she'd be getting a good beetdown.

Just my opinioon and all.

Lack of respect for authority can be a problem. It is a two-way street, though. (But I'm not an authoritarian to begin with.) Even legitimate authority that involves itself in regulating trivial or unnecessary matters only undermines itself. IMHO, that's a point worth grasping.

reminds me of a quote from colbert's book:

"Don't worry if a rule makes sense--the important thing is that it's a rule. Arbitrary rules teach kids discipline: If every rule made sense, they wouldn't be learning respect for authority, they'd be learning logic."

:D

Stupid rules, set forth by stupid, backward, easily offended people SHOULD be ignored.

I'd gladly add my big white hairy naked ass, replete with exclamation points on both cheeks for full effect.

Man, with all that's wrong in the world, people find **** like THIS to bitch about?

LOSERS.

You both seemed to overlook this part of the quote, "I've also taught her to think for herself and I would hope she would think this situation is not worth the battle. "

And this one, "Seems like some parents need to teach their kids to pick their battles."

If you're going to go all ape s&$% over a dumb rule, that's not using common sense either. The pendulum swings both ways.

And look what happened.

Apparently taking responsibility for one's actions isn't taught today either.:scowl:
