Schoolgirl Wrestling

Rod Dreher reports on the disturbing trend of high school girls wrestling. Now if the girls were wrestling each other, this might be ok, at least as long as no mud is involved.

This is one of the nuttiest things I have ever heard. If your kids attend a school where this is happening, take them out. Now. It is a sign of much deeper problems.
