AUSTIN, Texas -- The Friday night lights in Texas could soon be
without bumpin' and grindin' cheerleaders.

This fucking (er, non-fucking) moron seems to believe that
teenagers would stop having sex and engage in sexual behavior if
only cheerleaders would behave like Christian god-fearing women
and stay in the bedroom and kitchen, barefooted and pregnant like
the Christian gods told them to be.

Lawmaker seeks to end 'sexy' cheerleading
ASSOCIATED PRESS
AUSTIN, Texas -- The Friday night lights in Texas could soon be
without bumpin' and grindin' cheerleaders. Legislation filed by
Rep. Al Edwards would put an end to "sexually suggestive"
performances at athletic events and other extracurricular
competitions.
"It's just too sexually oriented, you know, the way they're
shaking their behinds and going on, breaking it down," said
Edwards, a 26-year veteran of the Texas House. "And then we say to
them, 'don't get involved in sex unless it's marriage or love,
it's dangerous out there' and yet the teachers and directors are
helping them go through those kind of gyrations."
Under Edwards' bill, if a school district knowingly permits such a
performance, funds from the state would be reduced in an amount to
be determined by the education commissioner.
Edwards said he filed the bill as a result of several instances of
seeing such ribald performances in his district.
J.M. Farias, owner of Austin Cheer Factory, said cheerleading
aficionados would welcome the law. Cheering competitions, he said,
penalize for suggestive movements or any vulgarity.
"Any coaches that are good won't put that in their routines," he
said. And, most girls cheering on Friday nights were trained by
professionals who know better, he said.
"I don't think this law would really shake the industry at all. In
fact, it would give parents a better feeling, mostly dads and
boyfriends, too," Farias said.
Although cheerleaders must meet the same no-pass, no-play academic
requirements of athletes, cheerleading is not a competition
sanctioned by the University Interscholastic League, the governing
body of Texas high school sports.
The UIL also does not have performance regulations for squads who
cheer for their teams at state championships, said Athletic
Coordinator Peter Contreras.
"I think it should have been cut out a long time ago," Edwards
said. "It surely needs to be toned down."
