Fab Five? What happened?

Question

There was a movie about these Texas cheerleaders. But I missed the movie. What happened and what was it about? All I got from MSN was "A new lifetime movie based on a true story, about the outrageous and harmful of a group of cheerleaders and the coach who exposed them." Exposed them doing what?

Answer 1

It comes on like two or three more times this week. Catch it then.

Answer 2

The girls went into a p**n shop with their uniforms on and beer in their hands.  They did all sorts of inappropriate things in the shop and put it on youtube (or something of the like).  They also skipped class, drank, fought one another, were blatantly defiant to teachers...basically ran the school.  The parents of the cheerleaders supported their antics and covered their tracks for them, including the school principal (the cheer captain's mom).  When a local news station did a story on the bad behavior caught on the video the cheer coach (who had been tricked into resigning) outed the irresponsible parents and administration of the school.  An investigation was done. The principal was "suspended" and she pulled her daughter from school.  Nothing was said about what happened to the other girls.

Answer 3

I don't know much about this whole cheerleader thing, all I know is that if the Texas Longhorns go one more year without defeating A&M, I simply don't know how I'll cope with this.  This causes me severe frustration.

I can accept losing to Oklahoma, fine, whatever... But no way will I accept another loss to A&M, that's mental.

On top of this, I'm so distracted by the author's stunning Avatar that it's difficult for me to engage in critical thought :P

Answer 4

the movie was pretty good...the girls a group of cheerleaders were       used to getting there way in high school...one girl's mother was the principle and so they skipped school when they wanted to ..they drank alcohol on school property..they beat up other cheerleaders and when anybody brought it up like teachers then things in the computers were changed so that it didn't look like the girls missed much school....it was basic petty high school stuff just taken to an extreme and all because they were spoiled rich girls...the teacher that "exposed" them was their coach.  

Answer 5

Opposing authority. The main cheerleaders mother was the principle of the school. So she would use her power over other authorative figures so that the cheerleader and her other cheerleader friends never got in trouble. They would drink, beat other girls up, dress like s****s, skip class, was very rude to their cheerleading coach. Then their cheerleader coach finally went to a news station and exposed the cheerleaders for what they really were. Then an investigation was done by the school district. The principle was suspended and she pulled her daughter out of the school at the end of the movie. Im sure it will be on again sometimes this week check the Lifetime  network tv listings on their website.  

Answer 6

I don't know how much of that movie is true, but I do know that the principal excused a lot of their behavior because her daughter was one of them.  They did send dirty text messages from their coach's phone, and a lot of other things like disrespecting the teachers, but I'm not sure that they did everything the movie described.  In real life, I believe the principal resigned (rather than being suspended) after the coach who quite exposed the corruption by the school.  That was the difference between this coach and all the other frustrated coaches who quit.  I believe she said her only regret is that it put the other 15 or so intelligent, law-abiding cheerleaders on the squad in a bad light.
