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 are just imitating the Hispanic culture. What’s the big deal, the Hispanics mock the American culture every day.

White girls having a laugh - Its probably good they are mocking ghetto culture - as they therefore likely understand its something to be avoided.

I thought satire was protected speech. Perhaps these young girls are lampooning a culture they find comical.

Looks more like they are mocking gangsta culture— which means its likely they will face suspension.

My father went to Redlands High School. At the time, Redlands was a farm town in the midst of a sea of orange groves.

In this case, it’s that libs don’t like the consequences of their ideology pointed out.

“They should never demean, insult, or portray negative stereotypes, as done in this photo,” Rhodes said.

Sheesh!

Huh? Would you say the same if they dressed up as 1930s gangsters for some costume party?

Ok, but then again how many times do you see white people in selfies flashing gang signs because they think it looks “cool”?

Decline hell! It is gone. As more of the younger reach voting age, more obamas will be elected. As more and more States legalize the use of mind altering substances for “medical” purposes, the voting class will be easier to control by the ruling class. As the producers either die off or killed, the parasite class will have to do with less and less because the ruling class will take what the producers produce for their own use. This will force the parasite class to support themselves or die. Since they won’t know how to support themselves, they will gradually die. Their dying process will not be slow or pretty as they will resort to animal like animal behavior among themselves.
