ARLINGTON, Texas – Parents of Lamar High School students in Arlington, Texas want several cheerleaders kicked off the squad after pictures circulated on social media in which they appear scantily clad, smoking pot, drinking and snorting cocaine.

Three cheerleaders allegedly posed for the pictures, which were posted online around the beginning of the school year, but remain on the cheer squad despite assurances from school officials that the girls were disciplined, CBS reports.

“It’s very – very sad and no one does anything about it,” an unidentified parent said.

“I was disgusted!” said the parent, whose daughter is on the cheerleading team but not in the photos. “I was humiliated.”

Arlington Independent School District spokeswoman Leslie Johnston told CBS “We take any matter seriously and we want to make sure that we are following our policies and guidelines and that is what was done in this situation.”

In other words, district officials won’t discuss how the girls were punished, but the complaining parent believes “they should permanently be kicked off the cheer squad,” CBS reports.

“I don’t think they should be allowed to be in cheerleading again,” said the parent, who was concealed in a hooded jacket during the news broadcast. “It’s a bad example for all our children.”

The images show the three girls taking water bong hits of what appears to be marijuana, posing with Bud Light cans, snorting lines of coke, and posing topless in a thong.

“Those parents who have seen the photos say these cheerleaders shouldn’t even be walking the halls here at Lamar High School,” CBS reporter Arezow Doost said.

Doost attempted to contact the girls in the photos, but was unsuccessful.

The controversy is generating a lot of interest online, with the CBS story gaining 2,200 Facebook shares in less than a day.

Many believed the district should have done more.

“They should be kicked of, not allowed to walk across the stage at graduation, and have some type of penalty as to their college/future,” Anonymous posted to the CBS site.

“These people are tomorrow’s leaders?” AlexisKlatt questioned. “God help us all!”

Robert believed “ … those girls need to be punished more than a detention or something.

“If for being just stupid to put on social media so ‘everyone’ will see it. Kick them off the squad at least,” he wrote.

Others believed the unidentified parent had no business alerting the media, and should have kept her mouth shut.

“She’s embarrassed, but she’s the one who brought this to the attention of the news media?” Todd posted. “They were not at school doing those things. Their parents should have dealt with them. Not Lamar or the school district.

“That parent should not have brought those pictures to the media’s attention. She wants them identified while she stays ‘anonymous.’”

Several commenters agreed with Todd.

“Unless these girls were drinking, taking drugs and posing nude during a school function or school hours it should be the responsibility of the parents to discipline these kids,” Ran2698 wrote. “Parents need to stop trying to be best friends with their children and start being parents. Our schools were never meant to be the sole disciplinarian in a child’s life.”

Meagan C thought the whole thing was really no big deal.

“So the coke might be a bit … of a jump for high schoolers, I agree. But smoking marijuana and sending nude pictures (which no doubt got leaked by an angry ex) is pretty much the norm for high school, and has been,” she wrote. “They just happened to get caught.”
