Pimping Students for Fun and Profit

You'll notice that one of Susie's links is a blog called "Amy's Humble Musings." You go, girl:

When we went next door to Publix for a double-cart shopping trip, fifteen-year-old local high school cheerleaders stopped us for money. (Sorry, no more money. I’m already forced to fork over $2500 every year to you folks, who can’t afford to buy your young, beautiful girls a skirt that would cover their thighs.) I felt sorry for those girls, who reminded me so much of myself at that age. Adults who are entrusted to protect our children, instead pimp them out to bring in more money for their retirement accounts. (If you’re inclined to argue my point, first ask yourself why the math club members never hold car washes in bikinis.) In another time and another place, the teachers and school board officials would be run out of town for this prostitution. But here, we empty our change purses, wish them a Happy Holidays, and hope some of them will actually learn a little math with more money.

And everyone continues walking around like this is normal and okay.
