Lake Brantley Cheerleaders are special indeed.

Lake Brantley High School in Altamonte Springs, Florida has a bit of a controversy on its hands.

Recently the school board passed a much stricter dress code that was intended to make the kids look more professional and be less distracted during school. Sounds simple enough. Bizarre piercings, provocative clothing and the sort surely do create a slight distraction. After all, that’s why people do it, to get attention.

The school board wanted the attention on the work at hand, so the new dress code was put in place.

Then came the cheerleader moms. Cheerleader moms are the fiercest and most feared animal in the high school sports arena. They were having no part of making their daughters being robbed of their chance to wear provocative short skirts to school on game day. So they went to the principal and demanded that their daughters be able to continue to “display” themselves on game days as an exception to the rule that was good enough for the “regular” students.

Well, as expected, the principal caved and now people are pissed.  On game days, girls that are not cheerleaders will be sent home if they wear identical type clothing as the cheerleaders do.

So the logic must be that cheerleaders legs are not as distracting as “regular” girls legs, OR that administrators are willing to let the studies suffer because team spirit is more important than the schoolwork that was such a priority that a new dress code had to be implemented in the first place.

What?
