More on the McKinney Cheerleaders Antics
Harry Jones' report and press quotes have detailed some pretty unbelievable stories about how intimidating these girls really were to everyone around them. I posted an excerpt of the report below, and here are a few more interesting comments...

The pouting teenagers were guilty of intimidation, threats, "telling teachers to shut up, using a cell phone in class even after being told not to, cheating on tests, skipping school," added Mr Jones, who interviewed 75 pupils, teachers, parents and school administrators.
Pranks included commandeering Ms Ward's mobile telephone and sending racy text messages to her husband and another coach, and posting sexually provocative pictures of themselves on MySpace, the social networking website. Previous coaches had also complained. One left her post after the head teacher's daughter made an obscene gesture from the sidelines during a football match; another walked out after some of the girls were caught drinking but escaped punishment.
"These girls were at the top of the food chain, they were 'uber-cool', they had the looks � some of them had the money," said Mr Jones. "I talked to a real good-looking football coach and he was obviously scared of them. He had taught inner-city school kids in San Francisco and he said gang members were nothing compared with these girls."

Hard to believe these girls were able to get away with so much. So who do you blame for this mess? The teachers? The parents? The school administrators? The girls???
