nothing like easy to define criteria
I love laws that are so easily defined, and have little gray area. I mean God knows 'Sexually suggestive' isn't in the eye of the beholder...right? Didn't these assholes see the movie Footloose?
Anti-booty-shaking bill wins OK

From Staff Reports
A bill that directs the state education commissioner to intervene when high school cheerleaders get too down and dirty won unanimous approval from the House Education Committee on Tuesday.
The legislation by Rep. Al Edwards, D-Houston, began as a controversial measure that would have cut funding to schools that did not discipline dancers or drama students for performances that were too sexually suggestive. But after opponents insisted that was too harsh and noted that the bill didn't define what was out of bounds, Mr. Edwards trimmed back the sanctions. Now, he said, the bill directs district officials to "deal with it, make a phone call to the school."
The bill must clear one more House panel before it goes to the floor for a vote.

This just goes against everything I stand for. I'm a big supporter of sexually suggestive dance.
You know who else can't be sexy? Women under Taliban rule. If we can't be sexy the terrorists win man.
Hey. You two quit it with all that sexy talk. Congress has the Texas Lege beat when it comes to crackin' down on sexiness.
Congressman Sensenbrenner, R-Retarded, proposed putting teeth in obscenity laws by jailing people who broadcast obscenity. We're done with fining the media conglomerates for the dirty talk, it's time to put the individual offenders behind bars! Once again, a prime example of another flag waiver who thinks the best way to bolster our countries values is to not only limit our freedom of speech and expression, but put people in jail for excerizing that right.
Social conservatives = Talaban.
