Sometimes you read a news article and your reaction is just, "WTF?" Here are some moments from this week where I had that reaction.
1. UW's Cheer Team Poster
The University of Washington's cheerleading team released a poster before team tryouts describing the "Do's and Don'ts" of physique, hair, clothing, and makeup. It's pretty sexist, so luckily the athletic department took the poster down. Read more about it here.
2. Preschool makes you homosexual?
Mary Lou Bruner is a Texan wanting to be selected to serve on the Texas State Board of Education. She made a long, rambling Facebook post about how public preschool programs are part of the "GLBTQ agenda" and will force children to turn away from their parents' teachings and become "confused about their sexuality." Yeah. More here.
3. Forced oral sex is only rape sometimes
An Oklahoma court ruled that forced oral sex isn't rape if the victim is unconscious due to alcohol usage. Seriously? More here.
4. Cher accused Donald Trump's son of murder
This one is mostly just funny. In a long tweet about... Well. I'm not really sure what. But it had to do with Donald Trump. At the end she wrote, "P.S. His son killed my friend." Bombshell much?
5. Bald eagle eats cat
So apparently bald eagles eat cats now. A livestream went horribly wrong when this was discovered. Read more here.
6. Donald Trump targets Bernie supporters
So apparently Donald Trump is trying to get Bernie Sanders supporters to vote for him. Yes, they both appeal to people sick of the political establishment, but they appeal to very different types of people. I kinda doubt it will work for many people. More here.
Crazy week, right?
