inspired by Supreme Court Denies Justice to Texas Cheerleader Who Refused to Cheer Her Alleged Rapist
Take back your scratchy polyester skirt,
Take back your cheap shirt emblazoned with school colors,
Red, white, and blue
Take back these absurd pom-pons
Metallic gold, decorative fluff
My muscles and bruises are my own
My arms will remain folded
My eyes will remain steady
My voice will not be forced
I will not cheer on a rapist
I will not utter his name
wow speechless
ReplyDeleteIt is a crazy story...that poor, tough teenage girl was kicked off of her cheer team. Then, the case went to court and she was fined; they called her lawsuit frivolous and expect her to cover all of the school district's legal fees!
