Are they EFF*#+ kiddint!?!

In the 'are they fucking kidding department for today:
A school district in Silsbee, TX, is demanding that a family pay the district's legal fees for a lawsuit brought by the family. The suit was over the issue of their daughter being tossed off the cheerleading squad because she refused to cheer for a basketball team member who had raped her. Yes, he's still on the team, and yes, the school had her removed from the squad because she would not say his name in an individual cheer. A petition is online to voice your opinion, mine is below:

By taking this stand you are condoning and even encouraging rape and all forms of physical and sexual assault. To have this done by anyone is unconscionable, to have it done by persons who are entrusted with the education of our young people goes so far beyond that, there are no words to describe the unfairness and inappropriateness of your decision. A long hard look should be taken at your thinking and attitudes towards victims, women and your reasons for wanting to be involved in the education of the young people of your area. This is just flat-out wrong. Would you want to do it, had the rape happened to you? Would you demand that your daughter cheer for her rapist. Ask yourselves those questions, give an honest answer and then reverse this decision. You do not deserve to be in the positions you are, if you truly believe yourselves to be right. I can only shake my head and hope that you do not represent the thinking of the majority of people in your area, and that your incredibly wrong attitudes are not passed on to others, especially the young people whose care and education have been entrusted to you – a position of trust you so blatantly obviously do not deserve.
