This seems totally ridiculous and a total cop out on the schools part.
thats it, its a cop out. period.
one or a few of the way too many extreme leftys in the education system is pathetically trying to make a political statement, which has failed due to its ridiculousness.
the primary victims: a group of girls who sacrificed, practiced, worked hard, played hard and achieved a goal.
now what do they have to show for it? nothing.
which is pretty typical of the lefty mentality isn't it?
why work hard and sacrifice, in the end you will just have the same as those who did nothing.
well thats not what made the country great, but that is what's destroying it as far as i can see.
just another brick in the wall of doom.
