A Travesty!
Girls Forced To Leave Football Game Over Painted Bodies
Cummings: 'We Did It To Show School Spirit'
MANATEE COUNTY, Fla. -- Two girls at a Florida high school were booted from a football game for painting their bodies to show school spirit, even though boys with painted bodies were allowed to stay.
Manatee High School student Monica Cummings, 17, and her friend Jessyca Altenbach, 17, painted their entire bodies in school colors for a big game this week.
However, both were kicked out of the game in the first quarter.
"People think we did it to be rebellious senior teenagers but we did it because we wanted to show school spirit," student Monica Cummings said. "That's all we did it for."
School district policy states that it is up to administrators to decide whether something is appropriate or not and in this case, the principal decided that the girls' outfits were not appropriate.
Once the girls came in, there were a number of people who came up to the principal, the assistant principal and other school administrators who were very upset over their appearance, school spokeswoman Margi Nanney said. "We have never had complaints about the men or the boys."
Monica Cummings said the school policy should change.
"It took us, like, two hours to do it," she said. "They always say, 'Come in school spirit.'"

The fact that they were not topless!
When guys do it they are always topless, so in order to be equal the girls must be topless as well.
Seriously, though, that is one of the dumbest things that I have heard. I would like to know who the people that were complaining were. They need to have the PC kicked out of them.0
