Thanks to proposed legislation outlawing "any (cheerleading) move considered to be sexually suggestive or provocative" that passed in the Texas House of Representatives today, the good people of the Lone Star State may soon be free of the scourge of "young girls being pregnant in middle and high schools, dropping out of school, having babies, and contracting AIDS and herpes," according to the bill's sponsor ... but just think of everything else they'll be missing out on too. Good people of Texas, you have our deepest sympathy.
