This. ^^^
OK, I know I am world famous for being wordy as all get out, and for rehashing my point for page upon page until the thread gets locked...but for real. This is the longest,
wordiest,
most-lengthy-paragraph-having-est,
run-on-sentence-y,
same-posts-over-and-over-again-y thread I have ever seen. but since I love a good, long, wordy argument, I'll weigh in.:D
As has been pointed out, I'm confused about this idea that you should be "entitled" to choose? What activity does any child participate in that doesn't regulate what they wear? Even middle school band has a requirement on skirt length. So I don't understand why people are upset that a guideline has been put in place. Much like every other rule in the world, the few have spoiled it for the many. I'd like to drive 120 miles an hour to practice, but some fools had to mess that up for me too and now I have to drive half that. I have never done anything to indicate that I wouldn't be a perfect, safe driver at that speed, but someone else did. And hence ...a RULE that I must follow.
Anyway, carry on. I read this whole thing today, so I think I'm entitled to a dramatic, yet happy, ending. My daughter is doing Irish dancing now. Have ya seen those outfits??? (and their cost!!!) :confused: I wouldn't be complaining about a full top cheer uniform right about now, that's for sure.
(for the record I'm indifferent. I like crop tops better, but as long as the timing of the purchase fell in line with the regularly scheduled timing of uniform purchases, I would have been fine either way.)
And PS, I'm ONLY VISITING. :oops:
