With all due respect, with as big a cowboys as the floyd county school board tries to be, this situation would seem "PRIMO" for such a move. Floyd County always is able to attract attention statewide in the media. Maybe calling out the KHSAA on this one would end up in a class action type of deal and cheer leaders would actually "win" one! ( remember the movie where folks stood while flapping their imaginary angel wings and repeated, "it could happen"!!!) I would say that if enough people got wind of this and got on board, tides could be turned... you know there's been bunches of cheer leaders suffer thru this, who's fathers were lawyers and would so love to overturn this injustice! It's coersion to hold a group hostage and use them to cheer for specific groups against their will whenever you do not recognize them as a sport or even help to fund them in any way. Expecting some groups to cheer four nights a week during tournament season when the end of their nine weeks is at hand and school work is not even considered. What a mess. This is surely a case some young turk of a lawyer would enjoy using to make a name for themselves!
