Tennessee mother where a mother claims her daughter was unjustly dismissed from a Knoxville high school cheer squad.

Tosky Boyle’s daughter Te’Shauria a junior and cheerleader at Hardin Valley Academy. The 15-year-old is no different from most of her peers who have found themselves engaged in the latest dance crazes on social media. Earlier this month the high school student was criticized for dancing and was later kicked out of cheer squad. On Aug 3. Te’Shauria

On Aug. 3 Te’Shauria posted a video of herself wearing a fitted black athleisure outfit, and dancing to a song whose lyrics consist of “from the back, from the back, from the back.”

Te’Shauria was unaware her video was seen as problematic until she received an Instagram message from her cheer coach saying, “Can you please remove the video you posted? It is not an appropriate representation of a Hardin Valley Academy Cheerleader.”

Te’Shauria immediately obliged the request, however, it was too late. School officials singled out multiple videos posted to the teen’s social accounts as being inappropriate.

“They called her and told her she was dismissed from the team because of those videos,” Toksy, the teen’s mother, told Inside Edition. “They said they were sexually explicit, or sexually inappropriate, her motions that she was doing, they talked about her clothing.”

Tosky said she was shocked by the school and coaches’ reactions to the dances. Te’Shauria says the finding out that she was removed from the team was heartbreaking. “I couldn’t think about anything, my mind just cleared out,” she said.

The teen’s mother believes race played a role in her daughter being punished for doing the same moves as other teens.

Toksy’s parenting was called into question, she alleges. “The young African American female’s high school cheer coach(es) took it upon themselves to report her mother to DCS for sexual exploitation of a child because of her daughters IG dance post (investigated, unfounded, and dismissed), however her fellow Caucasian teammate’s mother was not,” she wrote.

Tosky’s post added, “I would rather my daughter do dubs and/or tik toks all day long as opposed to smoking, drinking, doing drugs, having sex, etc. Body shaming an already insecure 15 year old and discrimination at its best and for what? …by a high school cheer coach and assistant. As an adult…especially one who teaches/coaches young impressionable and already emotionally charged children…you should be uplifting your children…not tearing them down. And then for you to assume something so incredibly awful about me as a mother…when you don’t have the slightest idea of who I am or what it took for me to get where I am today…is utterly ridiculous. HVA…you should be ashamed of yourselves.”

The school later reversed the action and invited Te’Shauria to rejoin the team.
