Last I heard this died in the Senate, but I thought I'd share anyway. In case anyone didn't realize that ribald cheerleading impels teenagers to sexual activity.
Quote:
(AP) Sideline booty-shakin' at Texas high school football games would be restricted to more ladylike performances from the cheering squad, under legislation approved Tuesday by the Texas House.
The measure, dubbed "the booty bill," still must be approved by the Senate and sent to the governor's desk before it can become law.
The bill would prohibit "overtly sexually suggestive" routines at school-sponsored events, giving the state education commissioner authority to request that school districts review performances.
"Girls can get out and do all of these overly sexually performances and we applaud them and that's not right," said Democratic Rep. Al Edwards of Houston, who filed the legislation.
Edwards argued that lascivious exhibitions are a distraction for high school students that result in pregnancies, high school dropouts, contraction of AIDS and herpes and "cutting off their youthful life at an early age."
Come on, isn't it obvious that cheerleading causes pregnancy and AIDS? I mean just look at all those flexible athletic moves the pregnant sick cheerleaders are doing... oh wait.
Most serious cheerleaders are probably some of the lesser likely to get pregnant or STDs because it would hurt their chances of being varsity, or staying on the team.
I think Mr. Republican has been watching too many "head cheerleader does the football team" movies.

I think that might've been a typo. He's a "House Representative" whatever the hell that means. Doesn't that mean he's a republican? Here's his profile page. As with most things political they don't provide any obvious way for the ignorant layman like myself to figure out what party he's with.

He's a Democrat. All you need to do is check on the Election Analysis link on that page and look for his name -- with "D" as party.
