Dallas lawyer reports on McKinney cheerleading scandal

Failures Galore:

Lest anyone believe this report will be easy reading, I have summarized some of the failures I have identified:

* The District failed to write and amend a coherent Constitution.

* North failed to recruit and keep a qualified CL sponsor with longevity.

* Some parents failed to transmit solid values, beyond "success" and "individual rights."

* Most teachers failed to take a stand on principle, preferring career advancement.

*Administration failed to implement and assess discipline equitably.

* Many students failed to understand how the rules could get so twisted.

* A small group of "ultra-cool" CLs at the top of the North "food chain" resisted all authority (legitimate and hypocritical) and failed to recognize how they were hurting their community.

*A few parents failed to see discipline as a loving instruction about life--instead they enabled children to a profound degree.

*The media failed to get the story straight: broadcasting its as a sensationalized battle between an upright crusader and "girls gone wild" and "teasing" with a risqué photograph.

*Previous CL sponsors at North failed to give the real reason they quit.

*The most recent CL sponsors at North failed to give the real reason they quit.

*The most recent CL sponsor failed to embrace or thoroughly follow the Constitution-and quit in very untimely fashion.

* The principal failed to properly juggle two of the most important responsibilities in her life: principal and mother. She must be held principally accountable.
