Texas Legislator Seeks to End 'Sexually Suggestive Cheerleading'


If Texas State Representative Al Edwards has his way, there will be some changes at Friday night football games in the Lone Star State. Edwards has introduced a bill to end what he calls 'sexually suggestive' cheerleading performances at high school football games and other events.

'It's just too sexually oriented, you know, the way they're shaking their behinds and going on, breaking it down,' Edwards told the Associated Press. '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 the bill proposed by Edwards, any school district that permits a 'suggestive' performance by cheerleaders would have their state funds reduced by the Texas Education Commissioner.

J.M. Farias, the owner of Austin Cheer Factory didn't think the law would face much opposition. '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.

Who will determine when a cheerleading performance is too suggestive and how will they make that determination remains up for debate. Perhaps it will be like the U.S. Supreme Court's interpretation on pornography: it's not easy to define but I know it when I see it.
