The Monroe County Ohio School System has delcared that Cheerleader's Uniforms violate the school's dress code, and will not be allowed in class, but they will be allowed at games and in assemblies.
"The skirts that the cheerleaders wear are very short, and they're very tight and they're slit so they can do the gymnastics that are required of a cheerleader," Superintendent Elizabeth Lolli said, adding that they can wear something underneath.
Parents are upset, saying that because they pay for the uniforms, then the girls should be allowed to wear them. "They conduct themselves like ladies, they are representatives of the school, they all handle themselves very well." one parent said.
