I guess they need to dress them up in black burkas, head to toe.
Make the cheerleaders stand totally still and keep their mouths shut.

Somehow, I dont think Texans are gonna go for this.

There is no sponsor of this bill in the Senate, which means it likely won't even be brought up.

Okay, I know I'll be called a prude, but I say good for Texas on this one. It sends kind of a mixed message to tell kids to abstain from pre-marital sex and then encourage them to dance like strippers in front on all the drooling old men in the stands. I know I'm a party pooper.

:-(

The whining has already begun. One of the Tulsa, OK, stations had a "news" piece about this, showing bites from cheerleader coaches saying, "It'll be soooo hard to prepare for meets in different States. Some States will let us do a certain routine and others won't."

Imagine that, a comedy bit on the local news show.

Following this logic, Elvis the Pelvis should have been banned in the 50s and 60s. And the movie Dirty Dancing should have been rated 'R'.

The state's House of Representatives voted 85-55 to approve a bill that would forbid sexy cheers and give the Texas Education Agency authority to punish schools that allow "overtly sexually suggestive" routines at football games and other events.

Can I be part of the observation team?

I was a cheerleader in high school (and for the record, I also participated in track and cross-country; cheering wasn't my only activity). We didn't shake our breasts, act like Vegas showgirls, or walk around half naked. We did cheer at games, ran pep rallies, danced and tumbled and practiced and practiced some more. I had more injuries in cheerleading than I did in track and cross country.

This is much ado about nothing.

I never could see the big deal about cheerleaders. Standing out there in short skirts, yelling stupid chants and jumping around and clapping.

Ridiculous. One would think that we would be more concerned about poor test scores all while we've increased per pupil spending.

How freaking silly.

The eyes of Texas are upon a bunch of petticoated cheerleaders now.

Some seriously repressed folk in Texas these days.

The thread title brought to mind a tune I once heard down here in a gentleman's club.

The young lady on stage at the time certainly did her state proud.

; )

Little Texas Shaker

The boys were rock 'n' rollin' down in old San Antone
About two thousand miles far away from their home
A little brown eyed beauty was shakin' her thing
The band was hot ya know the mood was right
Gotta shake it up tonight

Got to shake it Little Texas Shaker
Got to shake your money maker
Got to shake it Little Texas Shaker

Ya, there were pretty ladies standin' all in a row
Waitin' for the boys right after the show
But she was like diamond among other girls
The band was hot ya know the mood was right
Gotta shake it up tonight

Got to shake it Little Texas Shaker
Got to shake your money maker
Got to shake it Little Texas Shaker

Hey pretty baby forget all you fears
Rock to the music ringin' in my ears
Well I'm a see-saw lover and I think you know
If you don't want to make it then you got to go
Tonight we'll have a party yes I think we might
The band was hot ya know the mood was right
Gotta shake it up tonight

~~Triumph

When I was in high school 3 decades ago, the drill team did one number that the school board branded "obscene and disgusting". I believe it was performed to the music of "The Stripper", or whatever that song was called.
