A school has been criticised after punishing a whole cheerleading squad after a male student said he was distracted by their short skirts.
The student at Timpview High School had “impure” thoughts after seeing the squad in their uniforms, People reports, and so his mother wrote to the school and complained.
After the formal complaint was made, rather than helping the male student to deal with the thoughts, the Utah school’s administrators appear to have punished the whole cheerleading squad.
Administrators told the cheerleading coach at the school, who told the 44-strong cheerleading squad that they should not wear their uniforms on match day.
One cheerleader told Fox 13 that she thought the school was “almost supporting a rape culture”.
Another of the squad told People: “It’s giving this boy power that when he grows up and does something to a girl, he can blame it on her skirt being too short.
“It really made me angry. Why should this boy have control over what we wear?”
But the school district has denied that the squad was told not to wear their uniforms.
A spokesperson for the Provo School District told Fox 13 that was not the case, but People reports that the administration is attempting to “find out exactly what the cheerleaders were told”.
One of the cheerleaders’ parents said: “I was shocked when my daughter came home and told me, ‘We can’t wear our uniforms on game day. They’re giving boys’ dirty thoughts.’
“I want the school to have a meeting with all of the cheerleaders and all of the parents, and I want our girls to walk out of that meeting with their heads held high. This boy’s problem has nothing to do with them.”
The Provo School District calls this all a big misunderstanding. They are looking into whether or not anyone really complained, but insist, the uniforms were always allowed....."The school was never going to make the cheerleading team not wear their uniforms on game days," said Caleb Price, coordinator of communications and public relations for the Provo School District.
Looks like it never happened...except on social media busybodies
Wow! That makes all of us old men feel like perverts!
BEHOLD!

The idiot leftists intent on protecting this boy are the same leftists that insisted girls wear mini skirts years ago.
Sew tge bastard’s eyelids shut - problem solved. The celery with which civilized westerners capitulate to superstitious savages never ceases to amaze me.
Hah...they are just trying to mimic the national media reporting...
The three girls interviewed in the FOX video all said that they had been told that they were going to have to change their uniforms due to a complaint.
Muslim student?
Hilarious!
NO,, Make HIM wear a burka
