My question to you
Art, given your opinion (and mine is quite similiar) is do you think this is an issue the state has the right to inject itself into?
I personaly am not convinced that the state has a social right or mandate to do this. It is in some ways legislating morality. Here's where I see the line blurring. Not all cheerleading groups are school sponsored. On school teritory and on state dollars, the school can impose community standards (Which I belice can only be done on a local level to reflect the local comunity. Here, I take offense to any legislature that tries to make a broad definition of appropriate) in much the same way the school has a dress code.
As for private groups however, the state has no inherant or stated right to impose any community standard upon them, and I see this as an attempt to.
