Perverts wasting time and money. A bunch of old men are going to sit around watching tapes of teenage girls and decide if it’s to sexual? They should be locked up for this bill.

AUSTIN, Texas (Reuters) – Texas lawmakers sent a message to the state’s high school cheerleaders Wednesday: no more booty-shaking at the game.
The state’s House of Representatives voted 85-55 to approve a bill that would forbid sexy cheers and give the Texas Education Agency authority to punish schools that allow “overtly sexually suggestive” routines at football games and other events.
The proposal must go to the Texas Senate for consideration.
“People are calling and telling me how disgusting it is to see sexually suggestive routines on the part of marching units or cheerleaders,” said State Rep. Al Edwards, a Houston Democrat who sponsored the bill.
He complained of cheerleaders “shaking their behinds, breaking it down,” but the proposal does not define what constitutes suggestive cheering.
Democratic state Rep. Senfronia Thompson, also of Houston, said the bill was a waste of valuable time.
“I think the Texas Education Agency has enough to do making sure our kids are better educated, and we are wasting our time with 'one two three four, we can’t shake it any more?”’ Thompson told legislators.

I dont see much of difference between Texas and Afghanistan under Taliban to begin with, no wonder why most Wahabi Arabi's end up in texas. I guess it emulates back home.

O’REILLY: Well, the state education authority, right, Mr. Edwards? You’re going to have the state authority making the judgment call, right?
EDWARDS: Well, the state authority, of course, Bill. But listen, you’re going to have students and parents at those games and those functions, and **I can’t describe what we are seeing physically, but I can tell you any adult that has been involved with sex, they know it when they see it **

I thought that all end up in Dearborn, MI.

No dearborn MI is more like Yemen, so if they are not happy they can cross to Saudi Arabia... Canada.

do the wives of the 55 who voted against it know about this vote?
Re: Texas trying to outlaw "shake yo ass" cheerleading
I have seen some routines that did go overboard - it's difficult to define limits of propriety in this case. I wonder what the motivation is that the suggestive bump and grind has become a feature of a simple school ritual -
