Girl with no arms and legs says cheerleading try-out is unfair after she fails to make school squad.
A Nebraska girl born with no arms and legs has blamed unfair scoring after she failed to make her school's cheerleading squad three years in a row.
Julia Sullivan, 16, has complained to the school board after she said she was given 'no accommodation for her disability' during try-outs.
The wheelchair user did not make the team after she received a low score in the jumps/kicks category of the trials.
She had worked out ways that she could cheer from her wheelchair, including spinning around.
They complained that the school had broken the Americans with Disabilities Act and other discrimination laws.
