I did not say I thought the school should be forced to allow her on the cheerleading squad.

The solution I had in mind would not have involved attorneys.

I know. You were trying to be reasonable. Unfortunately, the other side is not reasonable. They're out of touch with reality, and nasty to boot. There's no way to be nice, when someone has decided to sue. If she gets involved with the squad at this point, it's publicly caving in to blackmail, and it will affect everything that happens with the squad, and also every other team and club at that school, plus every other school in the state.
