With sexy dancing by cheerleaders already banned by legislative decree, the Arlington ISD has gone after cleavage in the classroom. Because, presumably, when you allow randy teenagers to stare at a little bit of breast during school the terrorists have won. Money quote:
“It’s gotten bad enough that, unfortunately, our young males are looking at more than their English book, their speech book, their science book,” says school board president Sherri Wade. “And it’s kind of nice to have something left to the imagination.”
Right. Young males are simply not paying attention because they’re too distracted by boobs, I buy it. What I don’t buy is that it’ll matter if you force girls to cover them up all the way. It wasn’t all that many years ago that I was a horny highschooler, and dressing the good-looking girls in my high school up in burlap sacks wouldn’t have kept their hotness from distracting me. Hell, even if they hadn’t been present at all, I’d have spent the whole day thinking about some girl I saw at the mall or the movies or on the internet anyway. There is nothing you can do to make teenagers not check each other out, so you might as well at least leave them alone about what they wear. Damn.
