Cheerleaders told not to wear uniform after "impure thoughts" complaint

[Morphine Prince 110,002]

Last week, when a male student at Timpview High School in Provo, Utah, complained to a school counselor that the uniforms worn by cheerleaders on game day were causing him to have “impure” thoughts in class, the conversation could have ended there. But it didn’t.

After the teen said that he was distracted by the cheerleaders’ skirts and his mother emailed an administrator, the school’s cheerleading coach was alerted about the concerns, and 44 girls on the Timpview Thunderbirds’ cheer squads were told not to wear their uniforms to school last Friday before the football game against the Alta Hawks.

Now school administrators are trying to clear up the kerfuffle, which they insist was simply a misunderstanding gone awry. But cheerleaders say they didn’t get that impression.

Speaking anonymously because they are afraid of being ostracized for discussing what happened, several members of Timpview’s cheer squad tell PEOPLE exclusively that school administrators held a meeting after the boy’s complaint and couldn’t come to a decision about what action – if any – should be taken.

“But then after the meeting, one of the assistant principals communicated to the cheer coach that we shouldn’t be wearing our uniforms to school,” says one cheerleader. “All of us were trying to decide which skirt to wear on Friday and our coach told us that we couldn’t wear them anymore. We asked what would happen if we wore them anyway, and she advised us not to. So we didn’t. Instead we wore best dress the next day.”

Timpview school administrators did not return PEOPLE’s request for comment

i'd think feminists would be against the idea of obligatory female eye candy at all male sporting events in the first place. 

but the fight to show skin is an important one for the liberation of women and their right to do as they please with their bodies. #FreeTheNipple

I had an impure thought about my Maths teacher at this one time. So basically my Mom could have gotten him fired?

I think you're misunderstanding what the goal is, it's about choices. Girls should be able to choose what they want to wear, if a girl chooses to cover up then that is completely okay but if she wants to show lots of skin that is okay too. Feminists fight for women to be able to choose what they do with their body, it's not that hard to understand.

Maybe keep your **** in your pants. What's good, prep boy twink?

[REALITY 80,298]

What??

He honestly just needs to learn how to control those "impure thoughts". Like, how "bad" was it that he needed to go and seek the administrators about this? He went out of his way to tell his mother, talk to admin., and all this other crap just because he couldn't control himself?

This is the stupidest thing ever. Jesus H Christ people what is this world coming to? As a woman I should be able to wear whatever the **** I want to. It's my body and nobody should tell me what I can and can't do with it. The United States is so ass backwards

[Born To Slay 10,996]

That's his problem, not anyone else's lmfao. I'm a teenage boy in school and I'm doing just fine, I'm slaying my ****ing classes. He needs to shut up and stop perpetuating the idea that men can't control themselves. 

[Sister 9,907]

Ridiculous, this should not even be a news story.

I agree, America is a backward ass nation and its all the right wingers faults. People are like "why don't u stand for the pledge" and part of the reason is that our nation is backward. These girls are being targeted because some kid is a ****ing perv. How pathetic.

Exactly. It's just like the people who whines and complained when my daughter was still nursing. Jesus people it's a boob. Why do we have to sexualize everything? So it's ok for there to be posters of women in their bras/panties/low cut shirts but it's not ok for my daughter to eat which by the way you could only see skin if you were really making an attempt to look. So ass backwards

I also wanna point out that it's the religious rights fault that that kid feels impure, they push their anti-sex propaganda and it's hurting the psychological health of kids with normal sexual urges. 

And Utah is a red state, I'm curious what sex Ed courses are taught there. Probably "sex will kill u, never do it".
