The Texas House might not be able to define the overtly sexual routines of public school cheerleaders, but it is pretty sure school districts will know them when they see them.
The House, to the surprise of some representatives who heckled with pompoms and recorded fight songs, passed a bill Tuesday night calling on districts to act against any group performing "in an overtly sexually suggestive manner" at a school event.
The bill, introduced by Rep. Al Edwards, D-Houston, passed by a roll call vote of 65-56. The first vote on the bill was a 64-64 tie, but the votes of several representatives who were not present at the time of the roll call were discounted. |
