Raped girl must cheer for her attacker

Here's an article (thanks Andrew Rihn) about a high school girl who was sexually assaulted by a basketball player at her school. When she refused to chant his name during his free throws, she was kicked off the team.

What's even more disgusting, is that after the incedent happened, the school officials urged her to keep a low profile, avoid the cafeteria, perhaps forgo homecoming...Good for her for refusing to be shamed into silence.

At the end of the article are the emails for the school officials. I urge you to take a minute and shoot an email to these officials who are supposed to be protecting our children, who are instead, more worried about the athletes' reputations.
