Cheerleaders At Arizona State University Fired For This:

Arizona State University may have less cheerful sidelines at sporting events next season.

After racy photos of members of the university’s cheerleading squad were spotted on a campus blog called “The Dirty,” the school cut the squad completely, MyFOXPhoenix reported.

The school's athletic director, Lisa Love, made the decision Thursday evening.The pictures on the blog feature 6 of the cheerleaders posing in nothing but their bras and panties.

Although only six members of the squad are shown in the photographs, the entire 16-member squad will suffer the consequences, MyFOXPhoenix reported.

Isn't the school overstepping it's bounds a bit here? The cheerleaders are not naked in the photos above and they are all of legal age. That said, what's the issue here? How is this any different from one of these girls accepting an offer to pose in a Victoria Secret catalog? There have been a rash of stories like this lately. From Mayors being forced to step down to teachers being outright fired over sexy (not explicit) photos. Though legal in all cases, the firings seem to be a bit off-base and out-of-bounds. What do you think?

This Video Would Make Lou Dobbs' Head Explode Upon Viewing:



It looks like this may have went down on Wednesday. To be fair, it wasn't just La Raza taking over the bridge. Michigan State University branches of MEChA (don't ask about the lowercase h) and Chicanos y Latinos Unidos joined La Raza in this protest.

From what I can gather, the students blocked an on-campus bridge and demanded identification from fellow students attempting to pass. Clearly the group was insinuating that asking illegals to provide ID is wrong but it didn't stop there. The 15th century arguments about Christopher Columbus were being bandied about as if they were somehow relevant. A group called the Young Americans for Freedom caught the whole thing on tape.

Student Flag Project At The University Of Maine Causes Stir:

A Maine college student has caused a firestorm after plastering the floor of a campus building with American flags to see if anyone would trample Old Glory.

Susan Crane, a student at the University of Maine, Farmington, placed hundreds of flags on the floor of the school's student center Tuesday for an art class assignment. She set down the flags in a maze-like pattern to document whether students and staff would step on them.

Several Vietnam veterans are up in arms about the treatment of the American flag in the video above. I'll be honest with you, I've never understood this obsession about flag treatment. The United States is so much more than a silly flag with some stars and stripes or a pretty song that rhymes in all the right parts. I think arguing about the desecration of the flag shown in this video is the lowest form of argument. What's the source of anger here? Veterans didn't fight to defend the flag of this great nation, they fought to defend the citizens. Let's let the silly college student continue with her social experiment and be glad she's not pretending to abort babies for fun.
