Wonder what the fuss is all about? Read excerpts from the report compiled by Harry Jones, a Dallas lawyer hired by the McKinney school district to investigate allegations of unequal discipline at McKinney North High School. The report is based on interviews with 75 school administrators, teachers, current and former coaches, students and parents, among others.

How long can it be now before the MySpace photos finally come out?

[Update: Looks like Gordon got the scoop from D Magazine's FrontBurner who in turn got the 411 from gossip site With Leather]

McKinney Cheerleaders hit the big time

2006-2007 McKinney North Cheerleaders

Newsweek is all over the McKinney cheerleader story: Boozing, bikinis and bullying: how the scandalous behavior of five high-school cheerleaders rocked a bedroom community near Dallas.

The pictures posted on MySpace.com looked like the latest installment of “Girls Gone Wild.” In them, cheerleaders from McKinney North High School in Texas exhibited all variety of bawdy behavior. One shot showed a bikini-clad girl sharing a bottle of booze with a friend. Another featured a cheerleader and several other girls in risqué poses offering glimpses of their panties. But the most infamous photo of all was taken in a Condoms To Go store. Five smiling cheerleaders dressed in uniform posed with large candles shaped like penises. At least one of them appeared to be simulating fellatio. “It would be an overstatement to describe any of the photographs as pornographic, but it would be an understatement to describe them as harmless high jinks,” wrote Harold Jones, a lawyer hired by the school district to investigate the incident. “Quite frankly, I personally found it ‘creepy’.”

In now way am I condoning this behavior, but these girls are living out the lifestyles they see reflected all around them in popular culture. Is anyone concerned about that?
