Al Edwards would put an end to "sexually suggestive" ] performances at athletic events and other extracurricular ] competitions. ] ] "It's just too sexually oriented, you know, the way ] they're shaking their behinds and going on, breaking it ] down," said Edwards, a 26-year veteran of the Texas ] House. "And then we say to them, 'don't get involved in ] sex unless it's marriage or love, it's dangerous out ] there' and yet the teachers and directors are helping ] them go through those kind of gyrations."

And ROCK AND ROLL music... it's a dangerous influence! ] Can we pass a federal law that prohibits lawmakers from wasting valuable legislative resources on crap like this? [ Agreed.
