The following story comes to you from deep East Texas, where, as pastors
and Christian parents compromised by government schools would tell us, all the
teachers are Christian, all the schools are different, and all the students are
above average.
The beginning of the article may strike you as a rather pedestrian story
about a dispute over disciplining children for visiting a questionable website
at school. Feel free to skim it. The enlightening part comes toward the end in
which the aggrieved parent raises a "double standard" argument based on the
school sanctioned goings-on at a "pep rally".
Having noticed that schools seem to be preparing adolescent cheerleaders
for careers in pole dancing (no, not the polka variety), today's modern parent
with daughters might want to include as a stocking stuffer this Christmas
something with a sophisticated european flavor:
Of course, the parents of these girls will probably tell you how involved
they are in the schools and how well their daughters are doing...and they
probably don't think that there is all that much wrong with what is reported in
the stories. -- Bruce
