SENECA, Mo. (AP) — A lawsuit filed by two southwest Missouri high school cheerleaders who were removed from the squad has been dismissed.While the letters OMG have served to take the intellectual value out of online chatting, it appears that if cheerleaders can now have their great works immortalized on Facebook. I've been following this for a while, thinking it may lead to an actual story, but it turns out the only lesson is that we still need to clearly define what is legal and what is not, so that the gray areas are few and far between. Was this normal high school catty behavior? Was it something way out of line that could have seriously affected someone? I don't know. But all around the country, this is happening. For the sake of the victims as well as those who may be accused for unbelievable reasons, it's time to get a game plan together.
The two Seneca High School cheerleaders sued the school district and several school officials last December after being kicked off the squad for alleged cyber-bullying.
