Three teenagers sued the Indiana, Pa., schools, saying they were kept off the majorette squad because of their weight. The federal suit says Tarrah Armstrong, 17, and Nicole Clemons, 16, qualified for national competitions but didn't make the Indiana squad. Jen Lightcap, 17, now on the squad, sued over past rejections. Their weights weren't disclosed. The teens' lawyer, Marjorie Crist, said the school is "gender stereotyping." School officials say the process is fair and unbiased.
