California High School Cheer Coach Fired After Posing for Playboy


http://cbs13.com/local/High.School.Cheer.2.985172.html

What are your thoughts???

I can understand she was let go because of the pictures, especially since she was  employed by a high school.  I think it sucks that the disgruntled families had to out her like that.  I wonder if the kids were allowed to stay on the team if they still would have outed their coach?? 

What if she was an All Star coach??  Would you let your child cheer for her??

What happend to the description of the word ROLE MODEL?  Anyone working with youth needs to have a clean slate. 

With myspace, facebook, twitter, information spreads so quickly.  While I don't have a problem with playboy and the girls next door is a show I watch from time to time; and good for them pursing a great financial start in life..... but would I want any of them coaching an all-star or school team?  Absoutley not! 

There are enough problems with cheerleading being perceived as too sexy, with uniforms barely covering body parts to choreography movements to song lyrics.  AND what about the perverts sitting in the stands video taping cheerleaders "parts", can you imagine if the coach was known for posting nude was also coaching the team?  This happened in Santa Barbara and Oxnard High Schools last season (the coaches did not pose nude, but the teams were video taped).  This was on the evening news and in the paper. 

I think this is right up there with the male coach that performed iwith a partner in a x-rated video for men.  This person was let go from two gyms after the owners found out (too bad the first gym didn't make the second gym aware), then he went to a third gym; the owner of this gym knowing the complete history.

Another example of what is a role model these days?

Setting the record straight:
The Advisor and V.P. in charge of Cheer knew about this back in March and chose to do nothing about it. Only when the pictures were placed in front of the Principal, did the Principal have to dismiss her from her position. She was employed less than 3 months.
She had previously been employed during the 2006-2007 school year, again briefly, but was dismissed then too, for unknown reasons.
The parents had every right in bringing this to the Principal's attention, since they fully pay coaching stipend and no taxpayer money or school money is used to pay for coaching.
As seen on Channel 10 last night, this young lady who was not allowed to try-out for cheer, for 1 unexcused absence, was Captain, is currently the Class President, and a very good student academically, where is the justice for her?
This Coach couldn't be happier, national attention.......just what she wanted.

I just want to say what has been going on, i go to the school, Casa Roble, and i have previously cheered there along with other allstar gyms. I, along with a few other experienced cheerleaders, was denied the right to try out because of a few minor attendance mistakes The few of us are also very active members in student government and have quality grades. We were also warned about cleaning up our myspaces and facebook as this all goes with the represetation of a high school cheerleader. Like any cheer parent i know would do, they obviously fought the fac t that we couldnt cheer for the fact that we didnt have perfect attendance. A few of our parents went and met multiple times with our principals but they didnt budge. As a last resort one of the parents wanted to prove a point by sharing the pictures of the naked cheer coach to our principal. He didnt even know it was the cheer coach. She was fired the first day of tryout clinic causing tryouts to be postponed, and we still cant try out. So this all started from a few girls who love cheer asnd just wanted to cheer.
