Examples of indecency in cheerleading
In 2007, varsity cheerleaders at a California high school were suspended from school for lifting their skirts to show "Indians #1" spelled out on their undergarments.[1] Some network administrators have even blocked access to websites related to cheerleading due to concerns of indecency. It is important to note, however, that some cheerleading squads have made good-faith efforts to reduce indecency. Despite these examples, many Christian schools have cheerleading squads. There are many cheerleaders themselves who are Christians.
