No More Dirty Cheerleading

Texas the land of the Dallas Cowboy Cheerleaders has passed a ban on "sexually suggestive cheerleading routines" for high school squads. Allow me a little leeway here, but if I try to remember being a high school boy - just seeing the cheerleaders in their uniforms was sexually suggestive. The routine was just bonus for my overly hormone-d self, and I honestly don't think that I was the exception. I'm sort of torn with whether this is a good development or a bad one. The prude in me sees it as a good thing, because kids really don't need to be exposed to more sexually suggestive entertainment (that's right I said cheerleading was entertainment and not athletics). But on the other hand I wonder if this is a case of government trying to do what parents and schools should be doing in the first place. I have no idea why I am following this story - I've been following it since the bill was first announced - but it's strangely interesting or at least oddly funny.
