Bodypaint gets girls kicked out of football game

Manatee High School says two of its students were caught showing too much of their school spirit. The girls have now made national news for getting kicked-out of their school's homecoming game.
Monica Cummings and Jessyca Altenbach are both seniors at Manatee High. They have almost perfect grade point averages, and they're very active in school activities.
They've never been in any trouble before.
They say last Friday they decided to paint their bodies in school colors when Manatee High took on Riverview at homecoming. To support their undefeated team, and show their school spirit.
And they were shocked to find themselves booted out of the game by the principal.
Although the girls say they asked the school resource officer for permission before the game, the school board says they were told to go to the principal and ask him.
And officials say several parents came to them and requested that the girls be asked to leave because their dress was not appropriate with little children around.
School spokesperson Margi Nanney says that the girls were given several chances to put shirts on before they were kicked out. She also says that the bikini tops they are wearing in the photos are not the ones they were wearing at the game. They were wearing tops painted the same color as the rest of their body, so they looked like they weren't wearing any tops.
Some say that the way the girls were dressed is no different than the way many boys paint their bodies at football games.

Me and a bunch of my girlfriends just did this and our principal made us wear shirts over their sports bras. It was fine because they pulled up the shirts and tied them so only their stomachs were showing. Those girls are dumb cause they were given warnings!
