Girl Suspended For Cartwheels at Recess

Girl Suspended For Cartwheels at Recess

File this one under stupid school rules. The world may have changed enormously over the years, but 11-year-old girls still love doing the same things at recess that they did many years ago: cartwheels and handstands and other cool gymnastics tricks they do such much better than the boys. That's now off-limits at San Jose-Edison Academy in California. Deirdre Faegre, 11, has been suspended for a week for doing cartwheels and handstands at recess after she defied a new school rule that no one can perform gymnastic stunts during the lunchtime play hour, reports Reuters.

Isn't that retarded? The principal of that school needs to remove the stick or something.

what the hell does a democrat have anything to do with it?

And since when did the way someone vote decide if he/she is and idiot?  It was a stupid rule, and parents are probably going to sue.  Now, God willing the judge will favor the parents and if he or she doesn't then the judge is a frikin retard...like you...go back to China you Commie.

Still stupid rule... and the fact the parents would sue is even more rediculous... Some people are way, way too "sue happy"....

There are some retarded people in this world. I don't think that this has anything to do with anyone's political parties, as far as I know most candidates for office don't run for school principal first.

I think this is just another step in the over-protective parent policy. This principal views all her students as her "kids", and has a huge imagination, and so put this rule into effect, then overreacted when it was broken. The problem with this principal is not her political party but rather her state of mind.
