A school has been criticised after punishing a whole cheerleading squad after a male student said he was distracted by their short skirts.
The student at Timpview High School had “impure” thoughts after seeing the squad in their uniforms, People reports, and so his mother wrote to the school and complained.
After the formal complaint was made, rather than helping the male student to deal with the thoughts, the Utah school’s administrators appear to have punished the whole cheerleading squad.
Administrators told the cheerleading coach at the school, who told the 44-strong cheerleading squad that they should not wear their uniforms on match day.
One cheerleader told Fox 13 that she thought the school was “almost supporting a rape culture”.
Another of the squad told People: “It’s giving this boy power that when he grows up and does something to a girl, he can blame it on her skirt being too short.
“It really made me angry. Why should this boy have control over what we wear?”
But the school district has denied that the squad was told not to wear their uniforms.
A spokesperson for the Provo School District told Fox 13 that was not the case, but People reports that the administration is attempting to “find out exactly what the cheerleaders were told”.
One of the cheerleaders’ parents said: “I was shocked when my daughter came home and told me, ‘We can’t wear our uniforms on game day. They’re giving boys’ dirty thoughts.’
“I want the school to have a meeting with all of the cheerleaders and all of the parents, and I want our girls to walk out of that meeting with their heads held high. This boy’s problem has nothing to do with them.”
Thanks for the rare bit of sanity on this thread. We have it from Our Lord Himself:
"You have heard that it was said, ‘Do not commit adultery.’ But I tell you that anyone who looks at a woman to lust after her has already committed adultery with her in his heart. If your right eye causes you to sin, gouge it out and throw it away. It is better for you to lose one part of your body than for your whole body to be thrown into hell."
If I actually followed that rule, I would have become blind long ago.
Where in the article does it say he was a muzzie? or is it just an assumption based on traditional muzzie behavior?
I think this is bs coming from one parent and one cheerleader
some parents are deranged.
Right. Dress him like a girl, give him some tit growing hormones, and call it a day.
I know I am old guy and not really politically correct...but I went through high school thinking the only reason I could think of to have cheerleaders at all, related to the generation of impure thoughts.
In short....wasn’t that their purpose?
Same here.
No wonder I got bad grades.
With a name like Randall Flagg, it is no surprise that you had impure thoughts. Ha Ha..
Yeah. There is that.
Mormon, haji, Gothard. All blame the victim.
Couldn’t he just handle it?
M-O-O-N, that spells impure.
How short are the skirts?
Almost got a few quarter M-O-O-Ns on posts 60 and 100...
Long, long, shapely legs...
My guess is (and I don't know if this comment will be pulled) the boy got caught self-pleasuring and he had to blame it on something. I totally see that happening in "Happy Valley" Utah.
Well, let me encourage you .. your resolve will help many people also make that decision to leave LDS. You may never know them or even see them .. but it will happen.
Do they need an escort to accompany them?
Hmmmmmm......”safe place”, or safe sex ?
I dunno.
No it’s not
Talk to women who have left the LDS cult
