Thank goodness I grew up in the era of the miniskirt.

As we used to say, "There are three lengths of skirts. The micro, the mini and the don't bend over".

Personally, I don’t have a problem with school dress codes. And I don’t think it is inappropriate to ban cheerleading outfits in classrooms.

I wouldn’t consider it inappropriate to ban male students from wearing basketball, football or track uniforms in class either.

Probably not good that Teen-age boys be exposed to so much high elevation female thigh and mid-torso skin through an entire school day.

Yeah, and people wonder why our education system sucks. Kids come out of high school as ignorant as a sack of hammers and need the better part of a year of remedial classes in college, but damnit, they can cheer and throw a ball! I’m sure the Indian and Chinese teenagers are quaking in fear at the thought of competing against your kids in math and science.

The teachers get away with having sex with the students but a cheerleader uniform violates their dress code? Oh, how far we have sunk as a country!

Saw this in a skit once:

Woman: Do you like my skirt?
Man” Skirt? I thought it was a belt.

The trashing of culture continues, here’s what a college team wears. And notice what champions of diversity too.

So it is OK with you if public employees assume that control?

I prefer that fathers and brothers regain control over their daughters and sisters. But, without such controls, girls will naturally try to compete with one another for male attention by dressing like sluts.

So, where fathers and brothers stumble and fall short, the rest of us have to pick up the slack.

“My daughter was a cheerleader for a time. I don’t think the outfits in this story are outrageous or vulgar. “

I would never let any of my daughters wear skirts like those which are at or near crotch level. The fact that no one thinks they are inappropriate shows how bad things are. I sent my kids to school to learn, not to be dressed like a whore in training. It also is bad for the boys who have enough trouble keeping focus on their work without being distracted by scantily clad chicks in class.

Yeah, because they can't find nude midget mud wrestling on the web pretty much any time they want it.

Boys today are exposed to much more than 'high elevation female thigh and mid-torso skin'.

Left to their own urges, girls have no real controls over their behavior. And, if girls are dressing like sluts, then boys cannot be held responsible when they succumb to nature's demands.

It's up to a girl's father and brothers. Hormonally, mothers are too much like their daughters to be much help.

My kids all have degrees and my son was on scholarship for football...One daughter was a cheerleader and the other was on her college softball team. They are all three successful in their lives.
The reaso kids come out of schools today “as ignorant as a sack of hammers” is because the total lack of discipline in their homes and in their schools...The liberal “dumbing down” of classes and the fear of “hurting the feelings” has brought on the erosion of education in this country...”Cheering” and “throwing a ball” is NOT the cause of lack of education. my children graduated from college in the early 90’s as the denegration of education was starting to take effect.

BTW, my grandchildren attend private schools just because of the liberal “dumbing down” and lack of discipline in the public education system.

Those kids will be out there bumping and grinding and doing the booty call dance to raunchy rap lyrics.

The grown ups will love it.
