I'm not thrilled about this
The Cheerleaders at Nacogdoches High School have sparked gun violence protesting after their skit last month, in which they fake kill cheerleaders dressed as the opposing team.
Executions are not something lighthearted and trivial. It's one thing to use a euphemism such as "Kill the other team", it's quite another to actually act it out, especially in something as gruesome as a shot to the back of the head. I'd have been equally disdainful had the cheerleaders pretended to hang, disembowel, stab, or use poison gas to 'kill' their rivals. The method is irrelevant, the tools used are irrelevant, it's the nature of the act that is important to focus on.
However, the school appears to already have the little pre-socialists up in ... what? Arms? because they're too stupid to segregate the tool used from the act committed.
While several students, over one-hundred of them, have signed a petition to protest gun violence in school, the administrative principal thinks the skit was all in good fun.
David points out that Nacogdoches High School has pointed out that the school has over 1,800 students, so it's not like there's a BIG movement or anything.
I disagree with the execution being fun, but at the same time as an adult I take it a lot more seriously than a bunch of high school kids who, after the pep rally, probably go home to play "Kill Zone IV - Blood in the Streets" on their XBoxes. I think it set a bad example, and that's my opinion, however the idiocy that this is "gun violence" just goes to show how brainwashed our kids already are.
At least if this happens when my girls in are in high school, I'll probably hear them complain that the cheerleaders had poor grips.
