No More Bumping and Grinding for Texas High School Cheerleaders

This USA Today article will give hope to all parents and despair to horny teenage boys (and a few teenage girls). A new bill that outlaws sexy, seductive cheerleading performances in high school sporting events and other activities.

Texas legislator Al Edwards, who's leading the attack against sex in cheerleading performances, said:

It's just too sexually oriented, you know, the way they're shaking their behinds and going on, breaking it down and then we say to them, 'don't get involved in sex unless it's marriage or love, it's dangerous out there' and yet the teachers and directors are helping them go through those kind of gyrations.

Now, this is going too damn far! I graduated from high school in Texas and have spent many Fridays sitting with friends up in the stands watching our mediocre football team, the Channelview Falcons fumble. Sure, the cheerleaders put on quite a display for the adolescent males and in some cases the adult males who were present at those games. However, the little gyrations are not anymore provocative than what is shown on MTV or BET. I am sure more could be said or done about Texas schools besides the moves of cheerleaders.
