AUSTIN, Texas (Reuters) -- Texas lawmakers sent a message to the state's high school cheerleaders Wednesday: no more booty-shaking at the game.

I guess they need to dress them up in black burkas, head to toe.
Make the cheerleaders stand totally still and keep their mouths shut.

Somehow, I dont think Texans are gonna go for this.

There is no sponsor of this bill in the Senate, which means it likely won't even be brought up.

Okay, I know I'll be called a prude, but I say good for Texas on this one. It sends kind of a mixed message to tell kids to abstain from pre-marital sex and then encourage them to dance like strippers in front on all the drooling old men in the stands. I know I'm a party pooper.

:-(

I told my daughter she was forbidden to become a cheer-leader.

I'm no prude, but that sort of thing is for adults as far as I am concerned.

Sheesh, am I the only one? Where's the heavy-handed pseudo-fascist religious right the liberals gripe about all the time? I'm feeling kind on lonely here.

You're on your own. I made the mistake of image Googling "cheerleader" once whilst here at work. I'm lucky to still be employed. : )
