Here is the link from another source:11-Year-Old Girl Suspended For 'Dangerous' Cartwheels At School

And a quote from the source: They said gymnastics on the playground creates an unsafe situation.

My word, I would have been suspended for a month doing roundoff-back handspring-back aerial flips competitions with a bunch of kids today. Oh and I never took gymnastics to learn it, so that is doubly dangerous...yeesh...

And you expect us to take the word of the MSM?
The ComradeCitizens of the Peoples Democratic FreeRepublic have decided that she was doing them in the lunchroom.

And

"I thought they were absolutely weird, because I see other kids playing baseball and soccer and I think that's more dangerous than gymnastics," Faegre said.

Obviously a smokescreen. The school authorities would never allow playing of baseball and soccer in the lunchroom.

When I was 13 - 15 Evel Knieval was in his prime, and we tried our best to imitate him by setting up ramps - a launching and a landing - on the playground and soaring over them on our dirt bikes. Man that was fun. We'd be expelled in today's climate, no doubt. ......and if not for that then for kissing girls. .....oh, the humanity!
