But I'm a Cheerleader!!

Oh, the humanity. It seems that the school system in Monroe County, Ohio recently revised their dress code, mandating that the bottom of shorts and skirts be no more than 3 inches higher than the top of the knee. Sounds like a pretty sensible rule - after all, school should be about learning about things like the Netherlands, not other classmates nether regions.

However, not everyone is happy with the dress code. It seems that the poor, peppy cheerleaders can no longer wear their short skirts to class on Fridays thanks to the new code. And they - and their parents - are not happy.

Boo freaking hoo.

From the article posted on WLWT.com:
Parents said that it's frustrating to have the school say that the uniforms they provided come up short.

“My daughter is a senior, this is her last year. We paid for uniforms and they should be able to wear them on game day," Becky Daniel said.

"They conduct themselves like ladies, they are representatives of the school, they all handle themselves very well, and I think that it's ridiculous," Tonya Turner said.

You know, Ms. Turner has a point. I think that the cheerleaders should be able to wear their short skirts to class, because, well, you need to have someone represent the school while you're at school, right? In fact, I think that the members of the football team should go class fully decked out in their game gear. I think that members of the wrestling team should go to class in their spandex. And as for the swim team...? I'm sure they will all handle themselves very well.
