Dance Routine Called 'Too Sexy for School'

I found this story on KTLA News
In Sacramento there was a dance performed at Rio Americano High School to welcome new students. A parent (P.J. Bascom) of one of the girls said, "it was not something I would want my son looking at. I didn't find it to be appropriate or acceptable." Biscom is also a parent on the PTA, who said, " it has been discussed whether there's action going to be taken. At this time, they're not allowing the dance any further." A student at Rio High School, John Butterfield, wrote, "...moves that are explicitly sexual, which would have been almost all of this rally's routine." He also wrote, "When the song team spends most of the routine bent ver, while it may elicit catcalls from the audience, it is simply not appropriate." Lisa Berger is a cheer coordinator, said she "didn't find the routine objectional." Another student, Reagan Maranda, said, "I feel like dancers should be able to express themselves how they want and be able to dance how they feel." The coach, Berger, said, "If you look at all the other schools, it's competition. It seems like that's what's wanted in the competition and I really don't have a problem with it."

My first thought was my sister-in-law, when she was a high school cheerleader. I watched the video on you tube, and realized that...at least they are fully clothed, although a lot of the moves were unapropriate.

I know when I watched my sister-in-law do a Christmas cheerleading routine in her high school gym, I was shocked. They wore santa outfits, that included: mini skirts made of the red velvet, with a white velvet band around the bottom, and they had red and white velvet tops that were low cut, with santa hats. They shook their butts like no other, and I remember thinking...how inappropriate the schools have gotten these days. That was almost 2 years ago, so this story doesnt really suprize me to much. The coach saying, "she did not find the routine objecionable," ? The coach needs to realize that she is an authority figure, and the girls look up to her. She is supposed to be a role model for these girls, and for her to not think this is inappriate is outragous. I think they shouldn't get suspended, because I'm sure the girls didnt make up the routine by themselves, so they shouldnt punish the girls. But I do believe the coach should pay some kind of a price. Maybe the high school should find another coach. I understand that it may be a competition, but there should be a limit to this. Most of these girls are probably underage, and having the audience members yelling out catcalls to them is unnecisary.

I hope they figure out something to do about this, and I hope they show these girls some class. These girls are up there shaking their a**es in front of their male students, and what does that say to the high school guys?
