School district officials were investigating a photo circulating on social media on Wednesday of a group of cheerleaders from Redlands East Valley High School posing in what appeared to be gang attire.
The picture showed some of the girls had stuffed their shirts to look pregnant, while others flashed gang signs and were holding simulated weapons.
Reaction to the photo was mixed.
One parent commented “it’s really sad,” after viewing the photo on Facebook.
Another parent thought it was just a harmless joke.
“I think they’re just being teenagers, having fun, being silly,” parent Sherry Garcia said.

they could be smoking crack or actually hanging out with the people they are mocking
I spent 13 years shooting high school and college sports team photos. With the exception of the BIG teams, most every team wanted to take a “funny”, “casual” or “silly” photo.
This is tame.
You should see some of the better, more creative group shots.
They were some of the most fun shots I did.
yup,, looks like it....
No kidding Mocking the truth How dare they...
The two sista's bottom left are pregnant. hehe
I suppose none of us FReepers ever listened to anything stupid when we were teens. No, not us!
Sure, I get that, but it seems to me like these girls (especially with the fake pregnant bellies) are lampooning that culture.
Of course not. ;)
The Left thought it was all cute when St. Trayvon did it.
Yeah, they gave birth to beautiful 2 lb baby basketballs :)
You’re probably right.
But there are still a lot of “wiggers” out there that love that culture even though they aren’t necessarily poor.
Are they adding Knife Fighting, Drive By Shooting, and Mugging to their sports programs???
“Oh! The humanity!”
Oh! The Stupidity!!
Rickety Rack!
