I don't ever remember seeing a band member or football player wearing their uniforms to school before the Friday night contest, so why exempt cheerleaders because "it has always been done that way". Sometimes cheerleaders' skimpy attire is a distraction, and if it violates the dress code it should be banned. Rules should be applied equally or not at all.
Our football player, basketball, track, baseball, all wore their jerseys on game day.
Your school must not have had a lot of spirit and pride.
You don't know squat. Just throwing out trash talk without a clue.
Wearing "jerseys" doesn't address the question of a dress code for skimpily clad cheerleaders.
Nice try,...no cigar.
Yeah, it's easy to toss around an insult when your argument is weak.
The cheerleaders in my high school wore matching shirts or sweaters, hair ribbons in school colors, matching sneakers (school colors one red, and one gold) and jeans on game day. They put on their uniforms for the end of day pep rally.
They still did cheers in the quad, and put up posters, etc. I don't see why you would need to wear a skirt to raise school spirit, they did just fine in jeans.
Cheerleader outfits are considered costumes. They are not intended for everydaywear. You don't see Vegas dancers or strippers wearing their costumes to the grocery store.
Well then, these "costumes" show too much skin.
It should not matter if they are costumes or not, if they are inappropriate, then they are inappropriate. It's not like the cheerleader outfits must be sleeveless to be functional. We are not talking about swim or gymnastics teams here. I could understand if a school decided the students could not wear swimsuits or gymnastics outfits to class.

How about the swim team or women's gymnastics?
