Hardly. Just your basic legalistic thinking with a dose of contrarian thrown in for good measure. If you had a 17 year old daughter you might understand (or you might not I suppose by today's standards). I have a 14-year-old daughter, and my solution is very simple and Constitutional: I decline to allow her to appear in public dressed in a manner that would appeal to "dirty old men".
These parents allow their underage daughters to jump around at a public event dressed in skimpy outfits, and are surprised and shocked to find grown men enjoying the view? Grow up! Be parents! Jeeze...

In other words if other parents allow their daughters to participate in cheerleading squads then they are fair game? Does not the larger family of society have responsibilities to protect children from harm, regardless of whose parents they are or what they are wearing? Again, it harkens back to the DOI and the inalienable rights which all people possess.
