15 minutes ago I did a Google search for Tremper High School Cheerleading. About 5 listings down there is a whatever it's called for Tremper's Cheerleading Facebook page.
I went to see what if anything had been posted on it. There was a photo of the entire squad on their "cover photo".
Now there is a white bar across the photo.
Seems someone might be trying to block their page. Might not be a bad idea if so.
Two things.
1) I'm not sure it really matters but I find it interesting that unless I missed it, there is no mention if it was a male or female "coach" who was giving the awards.
2) I noticed they have a male member of the squad. I'm left wondering what if anything was he awarded.

15 years or so ago nobody would have batted an eye. Times have changed. Gotta change with the times...in my high school year book we had polls (awards) for similar things that the seniors voted on...included "best back side". Nobody cared or got offended. There were girl and guy winners for each category. We all enjoyed it....I got least studious (shocker, right?).

kids will be kids
this seems to be adult/supervisor/coach-sanctioned...someone (and where were asst. coaches?) who one might think should know better

I'm curious why it took over a year for the story to break? Were the parents okay with this initially?

Just to be devils advocate and get my gutter/illy on. Most things that go in the yearbook are/have to be approved by an adult supervisor.

I meant illys story where you said kids will be kids. Its not a big deal. Just was being contrarian.

I was in HS 15-20 years ago and certainly believe that that would be seen as inappropriate by the adults at that time. HS cheerleaders can be 14 years old. On first glance, this doesn't look like PC culture to me but more about looking cool for and to the kids.
