Because if you aren't, that's the stupidest, most pointless, most over-sexualized piece of government grade bullshit I've heard of in a while. And since I work with media and live in a college (both of which, as all we know, are breeding grounds for crap like that), that's saying something.
If I was in your position, I'd storm the school office and demand an answer, because there's NO excuse for placing a young girl in that position for the sake of a pep rally. Even if they were willing, it's a school, DAMMIT! Not a house of cheap visual thrills.
*rubs her forehead and grumbles about Crowd Theory*
And I don't know what school's about, becaue it's not about learning anything except the world sucks and how to manupulate people.
Though I have this sinking feeling that I did condone this since the posters advertising this have been up for a week and I have said a peep excpet to my Mom who thinks it's bad but hasn't said anything either.
High school sucks. If you're lucky, college/university improves on this a bit, because the people who don't want to be there usually leave and you're stuck with people who share your passion for a certain field.
Technically, you haven't condoned it. Silence is not an agreement, at least when comes to contracts and the law. Not speaking up is not an agreement.
I highly doubt the parents of those girls are going to be very happy about what happened to them. Do your parents know? They should call the school. I don't know about Indiana school law, but here in PA that would be considered a form of sexual harassment, and the teacher(s) behind it would lose their certificates.
The whole cockamamie scheme was cooked up by the studnet council, and technicaly the student coucil reperesnts the students, so the student body wanted the jello wressling. Plus the majority of the council is *female*, so I don't get how this even got out of committe. And the student coucil can't do anything without the aproval of the administration.
I'm a bit shadey on how people get picked for pep activities, but I think one of the student council reps ask you whether or not you want to do somthing. So the girls wanted to do this.
Eveyone knows. No one really cares. For the love that is good and holy, we have MAT GIRLS. Which is just a fancy name for wressling bunnies. They make scrapbooks and work the meet and make encourgement posters because the people who are making all those *other* encourgement posters are are just lacking the dedication to make wressing posters. And the girls can wear tiny skirts but no one can wear shorts. Midrifft showing isn't allowed, unless your a cheerleader. And there is no such thing as a girls homecomming game.
