192. Many girls try out for cheerleading squads and are
rejected. Should they ALL be allowed on teams if they didn't meet the criteria? Is it automatically "discrimination" if they don't? What if there were twenty or thirty disabled students wanting to be on the cheerleading squad regardless of ability, should they ALL get to be on it no matter what? Speaking as someone with two disabilities, just because you're disabled in some way does not mean that you should be able to do whatever you want whenever you want regardless of ability. That attitude, in itself, is a bit patronizing.
