You must really like putting words in other peoples mouths. I have never stated that cheerleaders are dumb. I would be insulting my self and i would be insulting my sister and friends. Just to let you know my squad won the national comp in florida in 2001. So dont go putting words in my mouth. My point is, is that not all school need or demand that you have to have a backround in gymnastics. I think education is more important than doing a cheer!
