Clinton opinion needs facts EDITOR, Pat Maisetti wrote a letter to the editor implying that Sen. Hillary Clinton is not fit to be president because menopause would make her irrational or upset enough to start a nuclear war. Maisetti also stated that Clinton hates the people of the military and is against families. Maisetti further claims that the First Amendment leads to distortion of truth. Margaret Thatcher, Nancy Pelosi and Ruth Bader Ginsburg are but a few of the women leaders who have experienced or will experience menopause. Menopausal women are also airline pilots, surgeons and grandmothers. Not once have I heard that a menopausal surgeon lost it and killed a patient or that a pilot flew the plane into the ground because of a mood swing. I am not a doctor, but I did some simple research and found no link between violence and menopause. I did find that most often, testosterone levels in menopausal women are so low it leads to a decreased libido. I personally have more concerns about testosterone-charged cowboys than menopausal women. The grandmother hypothesis is an evolutionary theory that maintains that menopausal women help society rather than hinder it because later-life infertility can allow older women to spend more time helping with the survival of their existing children and grandchildren. I believe this should have been researched better. There are many myths about menopause; we don’t need to add a new one. In addition, I have seen no proof of Clinton’s hatred of men and women in the military as seen in her voting record. In regards to Clinton being antifamily, she has a husband and a beautiful daughter. I don’t see how anyone could think she is antifamily. She is a mother and a wife as well as a career woman. While we all have a right to our own opinion, I believe facts should be used to form them. As for the bias of news agencies, I agree that many are sensational and lean to one side or another, so we must take the time to find a news agency that is neutral and honest. The First Amendment makes it so I have many choices of news agencies, but I still have the responsibility to check and question them. It is blind loyalty about certain news agencies being infallible that causes problems. Terrie McKinley, Patterson Letter slandered all women EDITOR, I was absolutely appalled by the letter written by former Patterson Mayor Pat Maisetti in the Jan. 26 edition of the Irrigator. Although she was targeting one woman, Sen. Hillary Clinton, she maligned all women by inference. Her statement, “... a menopausal woman with her finger so close to the nuclear button,” maligned all women. I wonder what Eleanor Roosevelt or Margaret Thatcher would have thought about that statement? In fact, many similar, slanderous statements were made about those women, as well as many other women, over time immemorial and continue even now. I think her letter said more to the reader about the letter's author than the letter's subject. Perhaps Mrs. Maisetti has been indoctrinated by too much of Rush Limbaugh’s and Karl Rove’s game plan of innuendo and character assassination. Hiding behind the First Amendment and not being accountable for distorting the “truth” isn’t limited to the news media! Sandra McDowell, Patterson In search of a little civility EDITOR, This letter is in response to the article that appeared in the Jan. 9 Irrigator about the upcoming bike tour through Del Puerto Canyon. Although I do not agree with certain groups of bicyclists who bunch up and block roads, I do not think that residents should be so opposed to the event. I was also very surprised to read that Del Puerto Canyon resident Paul Mason claimed that most bicyclists are drug users. To see a grown man make such an ignorant assumption angered me. Being a cycling enthusiast myself, I have biked long distances and met many other people who share the passion. Most are very health-conscious and friendly. Saying that most bicyclists use steriods is like saying that most basketball players, swimmers, football players, etc., are also drug users. It amazes me that Mason would waste his time stereotyping bicyclists and taking them to court over a desire to ride through our beautiful canyon. That being said, I do believe that some bicyclists should be more careful about riding “clumped-up.” It is unsafe, and it is just as satisfying to ride along the shoulder. As for the trash issue, they should also be more conscious of the Earth. It is not a trash can, and it shouldn’t be someone else’s responsibility to clean up after them. Jordyn Johnson, Patterson A disingenuous proposition EDITOR, Prop. 93 (Term Limits and Legislative Reform Act) is disingenuous and shifty, and passage would serve only as a disservice to those who strive for accountability in government. California suffers from a budget shortfall of $14 billion. That will quickly escalate to billions more in the next fiscal year, unless spending and bond debt are drastically reduced. To the disapproving consternation of state legislators, Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger is proposing a 10 percent reduction in all state services that are paid for by the general fund. There is a disconnect among legislators in understanding that they cannot routinely outspend available revenue, leaving the state in debt. Sacramento career politicians are asking that we double their time in the Assembly from three two-year terms to six terms (12 years total), and increase the state Senate from two four-year terms to three (12 years total). Shaving off two years from a possible 14-year (six years Assembly, plus eight years Senate) career max is what they call “balance.” I call it self-serving business as “abuse-ual.” What’s wrong with balancing the budget? What about a fair, balanced and long overdue redistricting plan? Where’s the sense of priority? Ken Groves Jr., Ceres Prop. 93’s crafty deception EDITOR, As a result of the deceptive way that Proposition 93 is written, I am opposed to granting a lengthier potential time in office to crafty legislators. The state initiative is nothing more than a job security/benefit enhancement package for self-serving incumbents and other politicians. They have never had a better job. Senate President Pro-Tem Don Perata and Assembly Speaker Fabian Nunez have each broken their promise to redesign voter district lines. These lines are contorted and blatantly biased. Many districts are drawn so they practically guarantee election wins for certain candidates. This weakens and makes a mockery of the democratic process. Perata will term out at the end of his current term. If Proposition 93 passes, he and other legislators like him will remain in office — provided that they win their next elections. Strategically manipulated district lines all but make their re-election outcomes a sure deal. These reform school dropouts care only about taxing, spending and power that is never ending. Willie Brown wannabes such as Perata and Nunez need to go. Let’s stand together and vote no on Proposition 93. Kenneth L. Groves Sr., Ceres Obama can unite us EDITOR, When Democrats know the depth and intensity of hatred for Sen. Hillary Clinton, how can we foist her upon the rest of the country and expect not to be less of a country for it? If our aim is a unified country working as one powerful force to get our country back on the right track, then we must not ignore this fact: Half of our country already despises everything Clinton represents. Those among them will be ready on Day One to continue the old political warfare of the ’90s with both Bill and Hillary. Why would we vote for more of that? Sen. Barack Obama is the leader who can move us forward to become once again the truly “United” States of America. Dori Filippini, Patterson Stop suggestive cheers EDITOR I am writing in regards to the cheerleading squad for the basketball season. I have struggled for some time about sending this letter and have decided that I need to voice my concerns. I have, for many years, attended football and basketball games and graduations at Patterson High School, because I have family and friends who live in Patterson. I have, in the past, always been impressed with what I have seen. But, recently, I have seen a very disturbing change in the performances of the basketball cheer squad. I have seen the cheer squad leaning back on the floor, using hip-thrusting motions and suggestively shaking their breasts during their routines. This is rather over the top. This is a high school cheer squad. The squad and the school are judged by how and what they perform. Just as the basketball team is judged on its sportsmanship when playing, the squad represents the school and its student body when performing at games. Using these types of movements in their routines is not a good representation of Patterson High School and sets forth an image that is not very becoming. I do hope that the school will take a look at this matter and hopefully take steps to remove the suggestive portions of the cheer squad’s routine.

We know that this "Klaudia Fuzi" is Kim Guerros bestfriend.. and she is just trying to get more attetion because kim's daughters articel didnt get to go out in our school news paper. i think it is stupid and none of our dances have any inapporate moves in them because i know for a fact that none of us would go out there and shake our boobs in front of the whole school

If you have a problem with a monitored school activity take it to the school. Due to The Garro's self centered opinions of themselves being so high and mighty above the rest of these girls out there this has been the worst year ever for cheerleaders, these girls practice everyday and to complain when your not even involved in this community is absurd. Have you taken a look at Tracy or Weat high cheerleaders??? Guess what I coach them and they had the same camp as Patterson and learned tthe same dances. I hope Patterson Cheerleaders dance their hearts out and cheer for the Boys like they sould. Due to parents complaining cheerleading is almost due to be cancelled completely at Patterson High School. Thdn what will you complain about the Polynesian Dance club shaking their hips and "breast" or the boys cheer at night rallies???!!!!! report abuse

I am the Patterson High School basketball Cheer Coach. I would like to say how proud I am to have the honor to coach such a lovely group of young ladies this basketball season. As a team, we work hard to convey a sense spirit & pride to represent PHS. I thoroughly enjoy the opportunity to represent Patterson. The community spirit is amazing from Redskins/City Recreation to the high school sports programs. I welcome the community of Patterson to come join us at our next home game come experience their performance yourself. These girls should be recognized in a positive manner for there hard work and dedication they deserve our respect. Thank You to all the supportive fans that come to watch these young men & woman play & perform.

you need to get over the fact that this years basketball cheer squad is good. Im sorry if you are jealous that you cant move the way we do. We just want to have fun and cheer. I dont know what your talking about when you say we do this..and we do that. We have not and for some reason you believe we do..so i would like proof of this. I really hate when people act immature. How old are you? You are acting like you are in the 5th grade and this is a tattle tale thing. Dont you have a family? You should be doing better things with your time. Dont try and bring us down just because you dont like the way we run our basketball cheer team. No one has complained yet but you! Your just trying to create drama for us. I really hope that you take the time to look at this. A sorry would be nice from you, because you have no clue what you are talking about!!! report abuse

First, which game and what routine did Ms. Fuzio observe, if any? All the routines have been approved by the Principal, Vice-Principal and Athletic Director, so what's the problem? Anyone that has truly witnessed the half-time performances knows that all the schools have done similar routines; nothing less, more or inappropriate. Only one school has stunted and that's it! The liabilty is far too great on that hardwood floor. Second, it is horrific that a grown woman would attack innocent teenagers. Does she have anything better to do with her life than attempt to ruin these girls' high school experience? Shame on you! Go find a hobby! Lastly, as mentioned in a previous response, Ms. Fuzio failed to mention that her best friend is Kim Garro. What a surprise...nothing more needs to be said!!!

I am pleased with the performance of the girls well most of them . There are some girls who are purposefully disrupting the team but that is neither here or there. The girls are much better than they were last year and are not doing anything out of the ordinary. I see this type of dancing at the apricot fiesta and competetions. It's a shame that Kim Garro cannot do her own dirty work. I feel that she is a racist and upset because our coach is BLACK. Move on with life Kim your daughter just couldn't cut it on this team. Our girls are really good and I am proud of how they are coping with the fact that a grown woman has nothing to do all day but hara*s teenage girls! So-sad Kim, oh and your daughter too... get a life! report abuse

I don't have any kids at patterson high, but I do go to many games for the last three years. I wouldn't say that the team was great in the past. My niece told me last year that the cheer team was boo'd. I am proud of the the team, though I think the girls need to be more disciplined.

The halftimes are fine. I really don't see anything wrong with the girls are doing. I have never witnessed any shaking of breasts or thrusting. I was saddened that us as grown women have nothing beeter to do with our time but pick on teenage girls. Let them support the team and dance.  It's awful that this has become such a big dispute. Can't these girls just have a good time and enjoy being young. What problem is it of someone else who does notlive within OUR community. If we raise our children to be respectable that will show on the outside. report abuse

My good friend wrote the this is enough article. She moved here to Patterson four years ago and I have moved here last year. This year has been a pretty good year for cheerleading only I have only last year to compare. Last year I saw the same halftime performances over and over again. The cheerleaders were good but not great. There wasn't much new material to pick from.

This year I have seen several different performances. My little girls (ages 3,4 and  love to watch the girls perform. Nothing has been offensive. I would like our girls to show some enthusiasm. The visiting teams shake and move more than we do. Our team seems to be much more conservative. I did notice that the coach is a black woman. I think some peoples minds out here are not open enough to accept that. My only complaint is that she may need to be more strict with the girls. I was at this last game where three girls had no idea what was going on during the game and played around the entire game. My sister coaches in Sacramento and those girls would have been benched for the duration of the game. I don't know this lady everyone seems to be pointing the finger at but I hope that you all can forgive her if she has something to do with this problem. I also would like to say that I hope that people can move past this as this whole thing is ridicules. Let the girls have fun and enjoy high school life. report abuse

Why is this a competition of football cheer vs basketball cheer? Football cheer and Basketball cheer are very different. I know this because I have coached high school cheer in San Jose for 8 years. Football is technically more stiff, staight, precise moves wheras Basketball is more dancing. Football cheer performs stunting and basketball does not. Why? Because basketball cheerleaders are performing on hardwood floors. I never allowed my team to stunt during basketball season. Why does this school have two seperate squads anyway? By having two seperate cheer teams you are asking for competetion. Has this school ever considered having a year round cheer squad? And since no one has asked where are the freshmen cheerleaders?

 written by your hurting yourself in an attempt to hurt others , February 05, 2008
Kim Garo’s ability to stir up drama is amazing. She seems to have a knack to create drama and turmoil in every venue of her life. At her work, Apricot Fiesta, Redskins Football and Cheer, Tigers Softball, Sacred Heart, Las Palmas, Patterson High, PTA, the Boosters and Girl Scouts everyone has experienced the wrath of Kim. She seems to think her opinion is all that matters and she is relentless. She always has several conflicts and drama in every organization. Almost everyone has several stories that involve Kim’s madness. How she is bitter, spiteful and full of hate. I personally have never had a run in with her when I see her coming I go the other way. I have heard and witnessed too much. I am fully aware of what this woman is capable of and will stop at no cost. I feel sorry for her children or any children she comes in contact with. What type of woman could be so prejudice and self centered that they would allow their narrow minded views to damage the self esteem of young girls? She is prejudice against size and race. As far as race goes she is so ignorant that she does not even realize the derogatory & racist comments she makes toward Black & Mexican people. To add to the insult she likes to point out for no apparent reason she has a token Black friend named ”Wanzeta”. When will this woman be stopped? Please wake up, look at what you are doing to these girls and even your own children. This is not about you; let your kids live their own life. I am not usually one to speak out but I feel like I am just watching a car accident and I cannot sit back and do nothing. It would be one thing if you were only hurting yourself but you are harming so many others along the way. I beg and plead for you to stop this madness. From what I understand you have pestered the school until they were tired of you and your antics. I believe in desperation you convinced a friend to write this terrible letter or wrote it yourself. Now it is obvious you keep posting comments under different names. Why would you pit the Football & Basketball Cheer girls against each other? You know what you have done, God knows your actions! Can you honestly not see the beauty and wonder in all of these young girls? This child abuse needs to stop. I urge you to let this go leave these kids alone stop bickering with them and their Mothers. For the sake of you and everyone your hurting get some counseling. I am sure you love your kids very much and would never want to harm them. You need to know you are harming them by your actions in the way you are handling these situations. Think of their future and the present, think of all of the children this has gone too far.

I want to thank the individual who posted the "Think of the children not yourself!" comment. I am not personally involved with cheerleading, but I believe our children to be the most important responsibility we as parents will ever have. If we aren't teaching our children to be tolerant of people that are different than us or encouraging our children to think of others before themselves, we set the stage for mistrust and hatred. No one person should be vindictive and spiteful as to bring all around them down. I believe our children will be stronger for this experience, but at what cost. I personally have had a life filled with struggles and the people I respect most in the world are the people who think of others before they think of themselves. For once in your life Kim, try to be mindful of the damage you have already done and try not to do any more damage.

Ok we all have established where the original letter to editor came from. Those of us who know about the article written at PHS have noticed the same style of writing and uncanny similarities in both the letter and the PHS article. I think it is time that we get together and stop this girl and her mother. The daughter should not be "spirit comissioner" what kind of stchool spirit does this girl have, it seems to be the spirit of tearing things apart. She also should have the priveledge of trying of for the spirit squad taken away. My suggestion is to either begin anew at another school or homeschool. Surely the students of PHS will begin to hara*s her as she has done to the schools basketball spirit team.

As a bystander and long supporter of PHS Athletics with two grown graduates from PHS, I believe they still have student athletes sign an Athletes Creed, sounds like this Garo girl has violated the creed and should be disqualified from participating in any athletics at PHS, cheer or government. You do not take down a team at school and then expect to represent the school by being on a different team.

Kim is capable of the unspeakable. How dare her bring Korre in to this to try to pit the girls against each other. We all as community lost Korre and are hurting deeply, some of us much more than others. We are all still traumatized and have not yet recovered. Korre was a football Cheerleader and much more. The Football Cheerleaders and Basketball Cheerleaders don’t hate each other. You can only speak for yourself and maybe your daughter. In my opinion most people at PHS (especially the Football Cheerleaders) despise you and your daughter and certainly don’t agree with you antagonizing ways. It is obvious you are desperate woman that will hurt anyone that’s stands in your way. Ladies Kim refuses to grow up and act like an adult. She is not a positive role model to the impressionable youth in our community. Let us learn from her she will be the example of how NOT to act. Most people think that if you smoke marijuana it will not do any damage. Well Kim is living proof of how drugs of any type can damage your brain cells. Her paranoia and delusions are a direct result from using. Enough of your insane demands on us! You seem to think the world owes you something because you had a bad childhood.

Well my daughter came home from school yesterday and was telling me about the article in the paper and had heard about the comments on this website. So last night we went through and read them. My opinion is to let these girls be. They are not hurting anyone. I have been to a few games this year and I havent seen anything out of the ordinary. This Klaudia lady needs to worry about what is happening within her own community. If anything I feel that if anyone were to complain it should have been someone who attends our games and lives in our community. My daughter had said that that some of the drama had come from the coaches ethnic background. Come on people this is 2008! Stop your racist views. I have enjoyed the performances though I have only been to a hand full of games. My daughter has said that the girl who originally wrote the article at the high school is known as a trouble maker. Luckily, I have never had a run in with her or her mother due to the fact that my kids are not the cheerleader types. My neice also attends PHS and her take on all of this was it was bound to happen. I think these people were expecting the community to have the same feelings as they did and put down these girls instead the community is rallying in support of these cheerleaders. If there truly was a problem with what these girls were doing I am confident that the school officials would have nipped it in the bud!

Did this lady go to any of the football games? I went to only two games. But that was enough. At one game the girls did a dance and had their hands on each others buttocks and then shimmied. It was cute and not provocative any any way. My 8 year old shimmied at her dance recital last summer. I doubt that these girls would shame our school. It's too bad some of have way too much time on our hands and have nothing beeter to do than to pick on cheerleader's. report abuse

Let me tell you it has not been a good! The lady has no back bone what sooooo ever! She should be the last person to critcize the Basketball Cheerleaders or The Coaching Staff for if any of you know Kim, she has attempted to be a Coach, but has failed to perform to her own standards and wants to criticize other Coaches, be real Lady, look in the Mirror, your not all that. There will always be someone better than you and and by your comments you seem to be jeoulous of what a good job this girls and coaches have done. The skin color of someone does not have anything to do with this. By you trying to rally up people to put down the Basketball Cheer and Coaching Staff, it has back fired on you, obviously by all the comments above from the community. Now this commuinity has really experience your antics and demeaning behavior, and are fed up. We have seen and had enough of the "Fake" Kim.

I think you know why you and your family care what the cheerleaders look like...because, you didn't get your way and couldn't control this. You didn't just quit the squad and walk away, but kept bashing the squad, coach, their moves, etc. Then to top it off, you write a scathing article in the PHS newspaper, which thankfully got pulled. Oh yes, you may try to feign anonymous, but EVERYONE in that school knows it was you. So, putting down your fellow cheerleaders, peers, and school is acceptable? Absolutely not! As one person wrote, that definitely goes against the creed you sign as a cheerleader/athlete. And you consider yourself a good spirit commissioner? Take 5 minutes to read ALL the above responses and you will see, it's not everyone else! People will get over it when you are removed from the above duties and your mother refrains from causing drama in this wonderful town.

I'm not sure which cheer squad Ms. Klaudia is watching, but I have attended several PHS basketball games and have seen nothing that she has mentioned. the routines are great,the other schools cheer squads do similar routines and no ones writing articles in there local paper.Its sad to see some parents trying to live thru there children,thats when problem start let the coaches do there job and coach and let the girls enjoy the season as cheerleaders and the parents be there fans at the games.I must agree with the Aunt of PHS student I attended PHS many years ago and our cheer squad cheered for both football and basketball that might be something to bring back to this school. I would hate to see PHS without cheerleaders that is happening in some schools already it shows lack of school spirit and we need that in our school.The cheerleaders work hard this is a sport like any other sport we need to support them.My daughter wants to be a cheerleader some day I hope this doesn't discourage her In any way. keep up the TIGER PRIDE girls.

Dear ms. Fuzzy(or what ever your name is)..........MYOB! I guess by now you have found out that your friend Kim Garro is not very well tolerated in this community. And now you have a reputation to match hers. Congratulations! My daughter is a BB Cheerleader and Actually made up one of the dances for a halftime performance. I was extremely proud of the job she did, and so was her coach. Kim Garro is a spineless busybody, who has nothing better to do than to cause drama and conflict. I invite all of Patterson to attend the next BB game and after the halftime performance, stand up and give the cheerleaders and their coach a big standing O. Let Kim be reminded that this is Patterson and we all come together in time of need weather is be happy, sad or otherwise, And Kim when you need the support from the community remember this stunt. I hope you are never "asked" to coach or help out any community events ever again. You are a terrible role model..... And Ms. Fuzi, Don't ever darken our doorstep again!

Saying you had nothing to do with it. HA HA i laugh at that. It was YOU who wrote that article about the basketball cheer team in the first place. for your journalism cla*s. And that got pulled. HA HA how can you be spirit commissioner if you have no spirit? You cant bring down another team at PHS. You tried to, and it failed. Sorry Hun! My advice to you is BACK OFF!! Leave all the teams at PHS alone! You just do you! Worry about Lyndzie! dont worry about what others are doing. report abuse

You guys have gotten out of hand with this whole situation. All of you grown women need to stop making negative comments. How can we teach our daughters to handle negative comments in a postive way, when you can't.The cheerleaders dances move aren't bad, but the mouths are....

OK LOOK PEOPLE. I AM SO SICK OF ALL THIS BASKETBALL/FOOTBALL STUFF. IT IS REALLY RIDICULOUS. WE ARE ALL THE SAME TEAM EVEN THOUGH IT IS DIFFERENT SEASONS. SO WHEN YOU WRITE ABOUT ONE YOUR WRITING ABOUT BOTH. I DONT CARE IF U THINK THAT THEY ARE DIFFERENT IT'S ALL THE SAME SCHOOL AND THE SAME SPORT. SO FOR YOU LYNDZIE YOUR TALKING ABOUT YOURSELF AND THE REST OF THE TEAM THAT YOU THINK IS SO GREAT. WHAT YOU ALL DONT REALIZE IS THAT WE ARE ALL ONE SINGLE TEAM. NOW JUST BECAUSE THERE ARE TWO COACHES DOESNT MEAN THAT YOU SHOULDNT LIKE THE OTHER. IT REALLY IS RETARDED. I SWEAR COMPLAINING IS SO OVERRATED. IF YOU DONT LIKE IT THEN LEAVE IT THE HECK ALONE. YOU SEE IF YOU DONT LIKE ONE THEN LEAVE IT ALONE AND DONT WORRY ABOUT IT. WHY DO YOU HAVE TO CRITIZES IF YOU HATE IT SO MUCH? THAT MAKES NO SENSE. I SWEAR I HAVE NEVER CHEERED BEFORE UNTIL THIS YEAR BUT I JUST DONT WANT TO ANYMORE. THERE IS SO MUCH DRAMA FOR NO REASON. WHY CANT YOU JUST LEAVE IT ALONE IF YOU HATE IT??THATS ALL I WANT TO KNOW. I MEAN I ALWAYS WANTED TO CHEER BUT NOW THAT I SEE HOW HARD IT IS TO COOPERATE AND HOW MUCH DRAMA PEOPLE BRING IT MAKES ME NOT WANT TO DO IT NEXT YEAR. I MEAN MOVE ON WITH LIFE. IF YOU ONLY LIKE 1 SEASON THEN JUST DO THAT AND FORGET THE OTHER ONE. I HAVE NOTHING AGAINST ANYONE PERSONALLY BUT I JUST DONT SEE WHY YOU ALL CANT GET ALONG. I KNOW I HAVE ATTITUDES AND CAN BE REALLY MOODY AND MEAN BUT I DO TRY TO GET OVER IT BUT I MEAN ITS HARD WHEN ALL PEOPLE DO IS COMPLAIN ABOUT STUPID STUFF THAT OTHER PEOPLE DO ON OTHER TEAMS AND IN OTHER DANCES FOR THE SCHOOL. I JUST DONT GET WHY YOU CANT LEAVE IT ALONE IF YOU HATE IT SO MUCH.

First I'd like to say "wow" to the supportive and positive comments that have been made in favor of the B-ball cheer team. It is amazing to see a community of this size come together. It is a real shame that there are parents, who are adults, making these types of comments. I hold the parents of these girls who are being negative accountable. Our children's actions are a reflection of us. We should be setting a positive example for our children on how to handle difficult situations. Ok to express your opinions, but do so in a manner that is not disrespectful, especially to adults. This generation of children (as a whole) have no respect for their elders. There are some children out there, such as the majority of the B-ball cheer squad, that are very respectful. If they weren't, what kind of leadership would they be displaying? Not a very good one. The coach has done an excellent job with these girls. It is difficult when the ones having issues with what is going on with the squad go behind her back and above her head prior to trying to work out the issues with her and amongst the team. This is the time of these girls lives where they are supposed to be enjoying being young. You are only young once, let them be kids, sorry, young adults. They have to learn to deal with things on their own, otherwise, they'll always be running to mommy and daddy to bail them out. We as parents are hear to guide them in the right direction. Let there be peace and comradery among the cheer squad, both basketball and football. Like my daughter said, it's one team. Get along on or move on. And to mention, there is nothing inappropriate with ANY of the moves that these girls perform in their routines. They are very good. I as a parent would not allow my child to do anything that is inappropriate. And by you Mrs. Fuzi stating that you see inappropriateness is saying to the parents of these girls that we just let our kids do whatever and I am insulted by that. I hope that you read these comments and really search within yourself and realize one day that you were a bit quick to judge.
