Another example of equality being taken too far, from Townhall:

The Oregon State University athletic department has decided to ground the cheerleading squad, prohibiting high-flying stunts - and any excitement or athleticism. Tryouts for next year's team have been cancelled. A message (now removed) on the team’s web site said that "there will be a Spirit Squad that will wear khakis and polos and lead the crowd in place of the traditional cheerleaders." The athletic department has also announced plans to eliminate Mom and Apple Pie.

Great - so cheerleading is being replaced with a Gap commercial.

After safety, the reasons offered for the change migrate from illogic to the realm of gibbering lunacy. They want to create a more "inclusive" and "diverse" team, and are concerned over issues of body image, saying that a 180-pound girl has a right to be on the cheer squad and that weight requirements are discriminatory. In short, since only allowing pretty, athletic girls onto the cheerleading squad makes ugly, overweight girls feel bad, cheerleading as we know it has to go.

As someone who has struggled with my weight my whole life, can I just say, if I was at all interested in athletics, perhaps I would have stayed thin. Think about it. Chances are overweight kids don't have that much interest in sports or dance, because if they did, they wouldn't be sitting at home eating potato chips with their noses buried in a good book, which is what I was doing. We are all equal in the eyes of God, and we are all equal under the law, but for heaven's sake, get a grip! We are not mass-produced in a factory just outside of Tai Pei. Everyone has a purpose in life, and it's not that we're all supposed to be cheerleaders, nor are we all to be writers or doctors. Let the awkward kids do their thing, and let the cheerleaders do theirs.
