McKinney North cheerleaders cause more stir with MySpace photos
NBC4 is among many news outlets reporting about the latest McKinney North HS cheerleading flap - which is this close to becoming a kerfuffle. It might even be at that level now, but we'll need additional verification.
Meanwhile, you may check out additional MNHS cheer photos (not the ones in question) here and here if you're into that kind of thing, courtesy some fine work at Frontburner.
Update: This has been officially raised to the kerfuffle level.

I posted on a story yesterday about these girls, but I am so outraged by their behavior that I am posting again. Their behavior is rediculous!!! Who do they think they are??? And why does the school want to protect them? You can tell from these slutty pictures all you need to know about them.

Had to remove Ziggy's comment because it was a little too blue, even for a story about girls gone wild:
Suffice to say that he disagreed with their in-school behavior, but felt the pictures were a case of "girls will be girls."

I wish people would lay off these poor mckinney girls!! They may have made a mistake by taking a picture and putting it online... but they have done nothing more than most hs kids. How many kids in hs these days are have sex and drinking?? Most of them. In fact kids at the same school where caught having sex in a bathroom. This is all about that stupid coach trying to make a buck!! Those girls are not that bad and are sweet and hard working!! Give them a break... everyone makes a mistake at that age!!!

I can't believe you all are supporting these slutty girls!! You all need to grow up, when these girls are a few years older where will they be? They had better marry someone good or they will be in trouble. Anyway, they'll be all wrinkly soon. With VD.
And I hope McKinney North's english classes are not reflective of all of your grammatical skills.

From the Fox piece Blair links to above:
<i>"Who's to blame for the cheerleaders' rowdy behavior — the girls themselves or school officials who allowed the bad behavior to go on for so long?"</i>
Is it just me or is no one saying anything about what these girls have actually done? Everyone is reporting on their "bad behavior," but no one is citing any examples.
Not that we should dissect every time one of the girls was "mean" to another, but until someone offers any real information, mountains are growing out of these molehills.

There are numerous reports of assorted bad behavior of all kinds by the girls over a long period of time, as well as accusations of protectionism towards various school administrators, one of whom is the mother of one of the girls. I have no clue though what is fact and what is fiction though.

Fab Five @ McKinney High in Dallas, Texas
What’s up with the learning process in our schools these days? It seems like everyone except the educators has a much better way, Teachers and students are having consensual sexual relationships, On My Space one girl put a condom on a candle then licked it with her lips.
Under age cheerleaders drinking & posting provocative pictures in style, At Texas’ McKinney North High it lasted almost a year not just a little while,
Although the actions of the notorious “Fab Five” was cause for dismissal, Not to worry, the mother of the ringleader was the high school principal.
A suburb just outside Dallas the girls were booted and boss mom resigned, Obviously this educator never thought to spank Cheer’s cute little behind, In a nightclub, topless bar, even skid row you see sex, cheap beer & wine, But in a well to do community, who would ever have thought they’d find…?
And what about intimidation from parents of the other four? They along with their “children” should have been shown the door, Instead of learning these kids pranced around like Prima Donna fools, Let them take these Gestapo tactics and start their own damn school.
How strange the B.O.E. bought out mom’s contract for 75 grand, Was she run over in the parking lot by the high school marching band? This incompetent should thank her lucky stars for not being fired, Are you telling me there was no morals clause when she was hired?
This is not an isolated incident however because it’s found every where, Yep, even affluent neighborhoods where parents are supposed to care, This school and others like are bombarded with an endless media barrage, Aren’t teachers and not the students supposed to be the ones in charge?
For what reasons were these girls were allowed to take full control? It’s fairly obvious that mommy and daddy had never learned to say no, There’s a reason traffic lights are red and green for stop and go, Parents need to realize, they not their offspring are running the show.
What happens when prayer, commandments are taken from school? Envy, jealously, disrespect plus all manner of chaos begins to rule, Disobedience with wanton desires takes over our daughters and sons, Who now turn to sex, drugs, alcohol and as at Columbine, even guns.

Dang Fox News can't get enough of this - turned the Cowboys game at a commercial to Fox and there's this headline at the bottom of the screen on one of their weekend shows: "CHEERLEADERS TERRORIZE A TEXAS HIGH SCHOOL" - yes, in caps.
Glad the <i>London Telegraph</i> <a href="http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/main.jhtml?xml=/news/2007/01/07/wcheer07.xml">is on the case</a>, courtesy a writer based in, ah, Miami.

Hello, I am a Senior at the neighboring McKinney High School, and know, not well, alot of girls in the "Fab 5". What I don't understand is how it has grown to be so big? The former cheerleading coach for McKinney North seems to be milking this for all that it is worth, making appearences on Good Morning America, and ABC News. Roseline Wisemantalked about how my community (McKinney) was "too afraid," to stand up and tell on these girls. The exaggeration of this story has grown just as fast as the number of Television shows it appears on. It all started with Provocative pictures on myspace. Linda Theret, the principal and mother of one of the girls in the "Fab Five," originally suspended the girls yet our Superindendent Dr. Crowe, let them go. Yet Linda Theret gets the resignation? There has been a girl on Fox News that had pictures of herself on the internet, claiming to be best friends with the girls and driving her out of the town. She was two years younger and hardly saw those girls. What makes me angry is that the beautifull community town of McKinney, is getting all this national attention. It looks bad on the city and the people that live there. This happened in October I am sick of hearing about it. Though I hear more and more lies about the story everyday. Why does it matter to America, isn't there a war, isn't there a un-employed and homeless population. Isn't there something with a bit more depth and TRUTH to talk about, something that could actualy help the Country as opposed to ruining the name of my community. Please indulge yourselves with all of this gossip and hearsay that is making "respectable," news programs, and forget about the real problems of a nation that is how the world gets better.

I am a strong Christian, conservative, yet it is clearly stated in our constitution, that Church and State shall be seperate. Please this has nothing to do with commandments, or prayer being stricken from schools, it has to do with the media taking something way out of proportion. You live in America, learn about it.

This isn't the first time Texas has had a "cheerleader problem." I seem to recall an attempted murder of a cheerleader mom by another cheerleader mom a few years ago. What is it about Texas and cheerleaders?

Mr. Orren, I am not saying that its just Pegasusnews.com talking about it too much, I am saying that it is an entire Nation worrying too much about someone elses life. And that link was helpfull and gave some real news. But this blog I guess you could say seemed to be the only place where someone might actually read what I write to them, considering e-mails that I wrote to FOX and The Dallas Morning News about false information being reported nationally through them, will never be read.

What's disturbing about all of this is that the parents of these girls don't seem to recognize their daughters actions as a big deal. And this has been going on for 4 years, a culture of enabling that has perpetuated the misbehavior. Why is this a big deal? Because their actions began to affect other members of the squad and the school. My hats off to the resgined coach for standing on principle. It's time someone finally did!!!

I think this whole thing has been blown way out of proportion. I just graduated high school, and from my experience, and from what I have read in all the news stories, these girls are just about what all high school cheerleaders are. Maybe they had a control issue, but other than that it's all norm. And what's all this talk about "slutty pictures?" Did I go to the wrong website to see the pictures, or what, cause those pictures arent slutty..so what, they are wearing dresses that have a little cleavage. I said, a "little cleavage." Their chests aren't coming out of their dresses, now are they? No. They aren't. Anybody who knows anything about teenagers nowadays knows that not only are these girls not risque, but they are absolutley normal. For all you people that don't think so, sorry, but that's the real world. Face it, and dont crucify a few girls just because everyone else is doing it.

Ok, I have to point out that all this flap pales in the shadow of the true innovation here, the formalization of the Cheerleading Advisory System. That one is going up on my cube wall as a tool I can use daily in description, debate and damage control. ;o)
The idea of a privileged super-caste of beautiful people having carte blanch to terrorize geeks and nerds and behave outrageously is not exactly news.
Oh, wait... maybe that IS all the news.
As a card carrying member of the geek Morlock underclass, I say let 'em have their fun. At least I got a good chart out of the deal.

defending these girls is an obvious remark of someone who really doesn't have a clue what life is really like in high school nowadays. This scandal isn't a question of how kids in high school act today, which we all know most kids drink and what not and have a little fun now and then. No, the reason this entire thing is being made into such a big deal is because it shows to demonstrate what little control people have over their kids these days. These cheerleaders have serious attitude problems and are nothing but spoiled little brats that get their way all the time. Sure the situation was blown out of proportion I guess, but the fact that the scandal is that because the head cheerleader's mom was the principal they got off free, which is total BS. I don't really care because I know in the long run their just gonna end up being total whores and living off mommmy and daddy's money, but then again having a mommy and daddy that enable them and don't discipline at all, I guess it really isn't entirely their fault their whores. But then again, they all have to be held accountable for their actions, so whatever. I find it funny at their stupidity actually lol
