Texas parents sue to protect sense of elitism for cheerleaders

In an action designed to protect the sense that a high school cheerleading squad is meant to set apart only the most popular, superior girls, parents in a Dallas suburb sued to force the school to drop 12 of the 32 girls selected, saying the result of cheerleader elections was "overly inclusive."

"Varsity cheerleading has never been more competitive than today," the grievance says. "These girls have earned the right to be called varsity cheerleaders. They deserve recognition for years of hard work. These girls also deserve a squad equivalent to their talents."

If the board won't agree to cut members from the team, the parents said they would consider a compromise to create two cheerleading groups: a competition team with the original 14 girls and a spirit squad.

The teams would have separate coaches, classes and uniforms, and would not mix on the field or gym floor, according to the grievance.

Yes, you wouldn't want the merely adequate, spirited girls to mix with their Aryan superiors. They might get contaminated.
