Superhero day in High School?
To: PBRSTREETGANG
That's what I was wondering. And, couldn't they have waited a week?

Lucky they didn't show up as GWB's....they would have been expelled or executed.
To: Cagey
I dont have any young kids , so I guess I never heard of Captain Underpants. However if there is a legitimate superhero cartoon starring Captain Underpants they should have been allowed to dress that way.

I got sent home for numerous things during my high-school career and I don't remember any of them making the local news. Long Beach, NY must be one sleepy little burg.

The Principal needs a sense of humor. If the girls were covered up, I don't see any problem with it. Perhaps the Principal just doesn't like Captain Underpants - the cartoonist takes a lot of digs at the school principal.

Sounds like they were wearing more clothes than on any other NORMAL day.

It's not that uncommon for schools to have a week like that especially during the week of homecoming where every day has a different theme or activity.
Those girls knew exactly what the result was going to be when the put those outfits together. It's not unusual for kids to get sent home for wearing inappropriate attire. This is a lot of to do about nothing.

The principle's a dweeb. These girls were dressed more than appropriately, if you're going to have "Superhero Day" at school.
That outfit would almost pass Taliban muster.

It's a Spirit Week sort of event. Schools all over have them. It's harmless.

I guess the principal would have been happier if they'd chosen this super hero ...
To: Quilla
They did a very good job on those costumes.

"

So the girls were pyschic?
The costumes were harmless and well done. The principal was being stupid.
To: Quilla
Super Hero? Maybe they could have dressed as a Marine or something. When the school sponsors something this childish for high school what do they expect?

Very inventive costumes. They did a good job on them. From a distance I suppose it could look inappropriate, but I give them kudos for them.

There actually is a series of novels for young readers with a superhero named "Captain Underpants". My brother used to read them when he was in elementary school (4th to 5th grade). My concern is that these girls are seniors in high school and it seems as though this is their reading level? I'm curious as to what the costumes really looked like. If they weren't real revealing then honestly I don't see the big deal. It sounds like three young girls wanted to have a little fun; and probably wanted to go as something no one else would chose.
