'Offensive' self-expression, yeah.
This isn't about anti-gay or anti/pro-religion expressions, this is about the length of a skirt. Please don't ruin this thread with your normal nonsense, thanks.
Not ruining the thread at all; I'm just challenging the assertion made by another poster that the school should not ever prohibit the self-expression of students. Besides, what if I find short skirts to be offensive? So if you don't mind (actually, even if you do mind), I shall continue with my normal nonsense as it pertains to the original topic. Thank you for understanding.

just make the skirts slightly longer. it gets hot doing any physical activity, including cheerleading. sweatpants would make it worse.

..except they're custom tailored $300 uniforms..
Our dress code actually requires shorts/skirts to go below mid thigh too, but come on, short shorts? Everybody wears them and if they went below mid thigh they'd be tacky as hell.

Sparta does have a point. Too many double standards against Christains where one religious group isn't attacked while the other is. Her point still stands I feel.

the cat thought shorts for girls are meant to be worn under skirts
(at least for public/minors)

Reminds me of my high school's cheerleader uniforms.
They're basically like jumper suits with a cloth hemmed around the waist that the administration staff calls a "skirt".

It kinda comes with being the domate religon of the masses where many of the masses are uneducated
Some thing is bound to happen

Thank god. I'm tired of seeing a bunch of sluts parading around Highschool's these days.
What they do with half the school is their business, but seriously, I don't need to see a girl's tits hanging out of the strign she calls a t-shirt nor do I want to see her ass in the thong they call skirts.
Anyone who calls this taking away someone's freedom is stupid as hell. It's called putting a leash on things that should have been leashed up long ago.
Women these days are ridiculous.

The school could...
- [S]Change the dress code[/S] (Well, they could...)
- Make an exception for cheerleaders uniforms (since they were already approved before the change in policy), i.e. grandfather them
- Pay to replace/adjust the uniforms
- Or simply remove the practice of wearing the cheerleading outfit during classes (as that's the only time the dress code is enforced)
Who needs school spirit anyway?

"This is really unfair to us," Piedmont senior cheerleader Antonia Bavilacqua told the Mercury News. The skirts are still OK for games, just not during school. "We're just sad and hurt. It's our school colors and spirit. And they're making us feel like outcasts."
After all, as one of the squad's other senior cheerleaders said, wearing sweatpants under a miniskirt is, "dorky."
Oh my, these really made me laugh inside.
I see nothing wrong with their intent, I would only change that they simply make the skirts longer instead of in sweatpants - the weather would makes them very uncomfortable.
To those before me: these are suits for games they have once to a few times a week, I hardly see this as "expressing onself" or "stripping them of their freedom to express themselves"
Afraid of the human body? That is one of the silliest things I have ever heard.
I can imagine a good portion of people against this simply want some panty shots.
I have to agree on Cynic here in the most part.

Past everything else, this is a female principal enforcing this :XD:

Oh man.
I was coming in to this thread to argue about how I wouldn't want that.
But then looking at the picture of these girls I didn't care anymore.

Couldn't they have done this BEFORE they got their expensive custom-tailored uniforms? IMO, legit cheerleading uniforms aren't bad, as far as being decent goes.
Cheerleader COSTUMES on the other hand...

Objectively:
If people can see sweatpants under your miniskirt, that's because your skirt is too damn short to begin with. Now think of what would happen if those sweatpants were not there.
Also, girls shouldn't be wearing this stuff to classes. The article said that they were okay for games, which is, tbh, their only actual function.
IMO:
Nothing we haven't seen before and/or won't see in the future. Taking such measures to hide it in school won't change ****.
