High Schools Are Banning Cheerleaders From Wearing Their Uniforms In Class
Typically, cheerleaders at Countryside
Another school in Pinellas County gives its cheerleaders several different length skirts, but they can only wear the longest one during class. Other schools in the district have allowed the cheerleading uniforms in class, as long as something is worn underneath to cover up otherwise exposed arms and legs.
Parents in the district told the Times that they were unhappy about the policy, saying that the school's decision seems arbitrary and their daughters are proud of their uniforms.
"If it's an approved school uniform — which it was approved, by the administration, years ago — why is it out of dress code? ... And why can they wear it in front of thousands of people at a football field if they can't wear it on game day at school?," the mother of a Countryside cheerleader told the Times.
One Countryside father told the Times that his daughter takes cheerleading "very seriously" and was upset that her uniform was "suddenly too vulgar."
"She likes the uniform. She's proud to be a cheerleader," he said.
Additionally, at least one Ohio school seems to have banned their cheerleading and dance team uniforms from the classroom as well. Oak Hill High School students took to Twitter to complain about the policy:
The teachers got an email saying they don't enforce The dress code evenly so now EVERYONE is in trouble and cheerleaders can't wear uniforms
