When local school boards and state departments of education drop the ball, it's nice to know that the federal government can still step in and make sure our children get the critical education they need:
VESTAL, N.Y. — The federal government is telling several New York school districts that girls' sporting events should have cheerleaders, too.
The Department of Education's Office for Civil Rights has concluded that school districts violated the law by having cheerleaders only at boys' basketball, baseball and softball games, and not at girls' games.
