Cheerleaders told to cover up

Post Falls High School leaders have told their cheerleaders they need to make some changes if they wear their uniforms to school. Those cheerleaders said they feel like they are being singled out. School District leaders said the "uniforms are not designed for sitting." They said the cheerleaders must wear leggings or warm-ups under the skirts. Cheerleaders can still wear the uniforms without pants underneath at school sporting events. "It's like asking the football players to wear a skirt underneath their jerseys or something like that," said senior Cheerleader Shelby Hanson. "It's kind of ridiculous"/Taylor Viydo, KREM2.

Question: Sensible school policy? Or not?
