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 don't think they're crossing any lines if the school was dumb enough to have a SuperHero's day. Even Superman wears tights!

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.

good thing they weren't Captain America or Wonder Woman.
all the red,white and blue could offend someone.

As I understand, it is a book pushed by the schools because it doesn't have violence against people.
