'Mean Girls'

I was in high school well over 20 years ago and it seem like now nothing has changed. Just the cheerleader's got a little bolder. I don't know why everyone is acting so surprised about this, this is how they are portrayed in movies, and the cheerleaders in the movies get away with it, so why not in real life? Personnally I think they should be punished like they do all the other students and mafe to realize that being a cheerleader is a privlige not a position to be abused.

I myself live in Mckinney, and I believe that the girls should have had harsher punishments. The reason for this is the fact that Cheerleaders, and Football players, etc. are not being punished like other students. It is the same for grades. Curves should not be aloud other than on a CLASS WIDE basis. Same goes for punishments. The girls should have known that, that was innapropriate. The condom store photos, I see why that is such a touchy subject because it is,in the state of Texas, ILLEGAL for a minor (under the afe of 16) to have sex. When you are sixteen there is no such thing as consentual sex. Therefor, the condom store, that would be provocative. These girls are a disgrace to us. Mckinney should not be protrayed by these girls' actions. And for the one person, who is a cheerleader that commented? You are in correct, people do wear one pieces, this is not a laughing matter.

Their behavior was unexcusable. We had a girl that did something comparable in my daughters high school and she was an incoming freshman and they gave her the boot right away, hats off to our cheer
coaches. I wish people would stop steroetyping all cheerleaders, 6 out of 8 of our former varsity girls were all in the top 3% of their class of 600 and excellent role models.

Inappropriate behavior should preclude participation in any kind of school-sponsored activities, especially for those who are serving as representatives of the student body. Misbehavior is not a prerequisite for popularity, and should not be condoned by any parent.

watch your mouth
i go to that school, and yall dont know a damn thing. i was born with nothin in mckinney 18 years ago and most of those girl were out of state. people are now just starting to get over it and now there making a movie.
why dont yall go support our troops or somin rather then whine over sothin that happend a year ago

Sorry, But people's behaviors form opinions. The opinions that the rest of the country has regarding Texas and the "chreeleading image" is terrible. It appears that whenever there is sensational news regarding cheerleaders it comes from Texas. Texas has a bunch of spoiled and induldge little girls in McKinney that became cheerleaders and set the tone for the standard of behavior for this privelidged mindless group. Where was the character and self respect of the little foolish girls? I guess some would argue they are just kids...Yes, they are...They are only acting little selfish, self-centered, depraved kids who were spoiled and indulged thier whole life. It is a shame that thier behavior has created an image for all Texas cheerleaders.

As far as almost two years ago. Well, don't you wish people would get on with thier life? That fact is thay have... the problem is the affect of the behavior still exists. Now everytime someone thinks of McKinney or the girls by name, in the back of thier minds they can't help but to think what disgusting and selfish behavior...I am sure the girls are sorry, but, thier character was NEVER developed properly...They are pyscho-paths.

I think people should stop judging this on where it happened. This could have happened anywhere in the U.S. or even in the world. Don't base your views on the fact that it happened in Texas. This could have happened ANYWHERE. Also people this happened almost two years ago. Get a life and go read about the war or presidential elections. Seriously.

These morons are our future...how dare we let them get away with such things. I would choose to co-exist with someone that has nothing over someone that has been forced to eat off of a silver spoon for their existence. Why is it the more money you have , the more your true character (or lack there of) shines through?

How dare you people judge these nice girls. They are worth far to much money to have some "middle class waged" school teachers tell them what to do. Some day they will be the bimbo, unintelligent, trophy wives of wealthy moronic ex-jocks and you will still be earning a middle class wage trying to shape our future. Hey girls, best of luck in your valium induced, botox filled worthless future.

live in McKinney and know some of these girls, and they are pretty crappy kids. My daughter hung out with them in 6th or 7th grade. Their friendship abruptly ended when we did not sign our daughter up in ProSpirit, and very expensive cheerleading team. They were actually mean to our daughter because she was not in that "elite" group. I ran into the little B's at our daughter's school and asked them to be nice. Even back then you could see this coming. As for Ms Theret she is a rather large lady who was living through her daughter, she just couldn't help herself.

I could not agree more that it is easier to teach gang kids than spoiled suburban children. As a former principal with adjudicated and 'wayward' youth, funded under the PC auspices of 'behavioral health'; the paradox of the children's behavior is astounding.
Of the affluent suburban children , mainly white but frequently either mixed race or simply non-white- it does not matter; parents, by their very 'judicious approach to their child's reported behavior' reinforce the notion that "I can do anything and teachers are beneath me anyway."

Conversely, kids with backgrounds of incarceration' theirs and a parents, multiple foster placements and a frequent dash of neurological disorder often based in parent substance abuse, have 'really ' seen it and often done it all.' It takes living proof in the form of enormous but committed behavioral support staff to let the kids know they don't rule the joint- and then teachers find children with trust and regard- no its not that simple but its one helluva simpler than working in a wealthy school district.
As a society we have gone well off our rockers. One of the more disturbing sights I've seen is when African Americans now well situated in prestigious jobs and with sufficient wealth suddenly ape the parenting skills of their new peers- US! Then I cringe to think the degree to which our children become not the nation's next leaders but its greatest challenge.

If they were wearing their cheeleading uniforms they are representing the school and should be punished for their lewd behavior. Too much stuff gets dismissed as "rites of passages" and as a result we have alarming drug and alcohol abuse rates among teens. People who are not interested in parenting should keep their legs closed.

Mind-boggling. Truly mind-boggling. Students who are disrespectful to teachers in class should be removed. The principal MUST be on board with the teachers....and it sounds like this principal was not.

As for what the girls did during off-school hours, that should be between themselves and their parents, and in the case of underage drinking with undeniable evidence, that's between themselves and the law of the state, which is supposed to be applied evenly (you know the whole justice-is-blind thing). I do not believe enrollment in public schools come with a morality clause, so that a child can be punished for out-of-school behaviours.

I do believe the principle deserved to lose her job, because she wasn't DOING her job. You don't keep jobs if you're not DOING them. If she had a conflict of interest, well.....it wasn't like she wasnt' aware she had a daughter in the school, and would have to deal with her presence there. Perhaps the daughter should have been sent to a different school, or the principal request a transfer or something.
