Six of eight Ripon High School cheerleaders were suspended from school for two days over a cheer performed at a football game. The girls danced to a Britney Spears song and lifted their skirts at the end to spell out the school's nickname, Indians.

There are seven letters in Indians.

I-N-D-I-A-N-S

...but it took eight cheerleaders to spell it?

LOL.

I think the “adults” here over-reacted.....there was nothing wrong with the cheer.

I all for modesty but this was tame. On the other hand they should have been suspended for cheering to that floozey Britney Spears’ song.

The girls had acceptable shorts on underneath their uniforms and it baffles me why there was so much commotion over what they did. It seems to me it was a harmless school spirit prank, no big deal at all.

The school staff are the ones whose behavior I can’t justify.

Parents can appeal suspensions, and Zuber acknowledged he has received one.

Masterful writing - Zuber received a suspension? From a parent?

If you can, like, watch the whole, you know, six-minute interview-w-w-w, then you would find out, you know, that they were actually asked to leave, you know, several times, but then they stayed and kept, like, cheering. I mean, they tried to pretend, umm, that they didn’t know they had to, you know, leave.

I mean, the cheerleaders that were interviewed, I mean, they seemed kind of bratty, but cheerleading is, like, their lives.

And one cheerleader, she’s taking like two AP classes and is already getting, you know, bad grades, but the two-day suspension will make her grades, you know, go even lower.

Sounds like they didn’t get the two days for the cheer routine, as much as they did for back-talking their coach and the vice-principal when they told them to leave (multiple times). I wouldn’t have suspended them for the routine, but for what they did to the VP, I don’t think it’s out of line.

I’m amazed that there still is a high school with a mascot of “Indians”.

No no no. The problem was the politically incorrect “indians” term used. The school could care less even if they were actually stripping.

Did they wear undershorts or did they go “Britney”?

Maybe if your grades are too low, you don’t belong in the AP class and for sure, you may need to give up some extracurriculars.

Cheerleading didn’t used to include shaking one’s booty to a bump and grind.

The title’s in error. If it were really a “Britney Spears” routine, the girls would have forgotten their knickers.
