Real Life Avi: Captain Underpants Costume Banned
As most readers of this blog know, I'm all for, like, free speech and everything, but why does this story strike me as a real-life version of Avi's Nothing But The Truth?
Three 17-year-old girls were told to leave Long Beach High School on Wednesday after they showed up on Superhero Day costumed as the subject of the best-selling children's books.
"I didn't know which superhero it was, not that it mattered," said Principal Nicholas Restivo.
The girls depicted this superhero — who has battled, among other things, talking toilets and the infamous Professor Poopypants — by wearing beige leotards and nude stockings under white briefs and red capes.
"Yes, I know they weren't naked," Restivo said. "But the appearance was that they were naked."

I don't understand why the girls had to be sent home. As long as nobody could see anything they weren't supposed to, then there is no reason to get worked up like that!!
