Texas may ban "sexy" cheerleading. You know, the kind where "they're shaking their behinds and going on, breaking it down." That's according to Texas Rep. Al Edwards. Not one to disguise his paternalism, Edwards notes that the bill is designed to benefit "mostly dads and boyfriends."
I, for one, can't wait to read Edwards' bill. It ought to be hillarious to read how an uptight twit defines "those kind of gyrations" involved in "sexually oriented" cheerleading.

See what your friends and neighbors have to say about this.
Yet another example of the fine work our elected representatives are doing for us (or not doing). Again, it makes me wonder - if the best ideas these idiots can come up with are things like these - they (and we) would be better off if they were out of office:
relating to regulation of sexually suggestive performances at
certain public school events.
BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF TEXAS:
SECTION 1. Subchapter D, Chapter 33, Education Code, is
amended by adding Section 33.088 to read as follows:
Sec. 33.088. SEXUALLY SUGGESTIVE PERFORMANCES PROHIBITED.
(a) A school dance team, drill team, cheerleading team, or similar
performance group may not perform in a sexually suggestive manner
at an athletic or other extracurricular event or competition
sponsored or approved by a school district or campus.
(b) A school performance group that violates Subsection (a)
may not perform for the remainder of the school year in which the
violation occurs.
(c) If the commissioner determines that a school district or
a campus in a school district knowingly permits a sexually
suggestive performance prohibited by Subsection (a) or knowingly
permits a school performance group to perform in violation of
Subsection (b), the commissioner shall reduce the funding the
district receives under Chapter 42 by an amount the commissioner
determines appropriate.
SECTION 2. This Act takes effect immediately if it receives
a vote of two-thirds of all the members elected to each house, as
provided by Section 39, Article III, Texas Constitution. If this
Act does not receive the vote necessary for immediate effect, this
Act takes effect September 1, 2005.
