Here are a few instances of gun-free zones that make victims of citizens that are not allowed to legally defend themselves.

“Rain check on writer eligibility anyone? ” Writer has blog, writer can express writers opinions, eh? What gives you the right to say this? Just because you are a part of “cheerleading” you are all wise and knowing? My kids have been a part of extracurricular sports, I think that gives me some cred.

“I happen to know the whole story, my friend, so I’ll share a little wisdom with ya. In life you do not always get what you want; when hard work is put in and a desirable outcome is met, victory is so sweet; When, and this is VERY common, you work hard and you do not get a desired outcome it is wise to evaluate oneself and focus on “what can I bring to the table else where, and what can I learn to improve upon?”; when your passions and rights are imposed upon, even if you know the battle will be lost, it takes a weak to do nothing. This is the land of opportunity, hard work, incentive, innovative thinking, where integrity is and must be a constant strive. ”

Sounds like you are just plain old preaching here. I don’t argue with that logic, so I fail to see your opposition. Life is not always fair, in this area I do have some credibility! You know who I am, would like to know who rayraypeep55 is.

Who are we if we do not stand for these things, no matter how big or small?
Think of Gandhi, Rosa Parks, Walden, and yes the very founding father’s of this
great country; a seed will grow with water and sunlight just as a weed will overcome
an entire garden if you allow it.

I’m not doubting your integrity; just wanted to share some “food for thought”

Thanks,

First off, the Pauluses did not sue the school district, nor did they threaten to. The girl in questions parents were the ones who threatened to sue in order to get her on back on the squad. So who’s the whiny parents “intensifying and exacerbating” the problem? hmm.

Second off, it was a big deal for her to be reinstated on a squad she did not deserve to be on. The previous year she was only an alternate for one. And a lazy one at that. She did not help the squad get ready for competitions, was not supportive, and when a girl was injured, refused to step in and compete with us. Clearly not a girl who deserved a second chance on a squad she did not earn a place on to begin with.

This year is over, and I would like to state that she was once again, uninvolved and unsupportive. She quietly sat there and did nothing to help the squad. Not necessarily in the way, but not an asset. Now new problems have rolled around with try outs, once again, because the school board and principals can’t seem to keep their noses out of our business. But if you are sooo lucky to attend the next board meeting regarding this new issue, I’ll be looking forward to seeing your catty remarks about all the whiny cheer parents on your blog.

Thanks.

To me, it is very frustrating. If we could, we should fire all of the Texas State Board of Education members and start fresh.
