Since you can't possibly know all 10 year olds, a statement made about all 10 years olds is incorrect.

I disagree, either they are acceptable or they are not.

Most of us understand that what we wear has a lot more to do with social conventions than with comfort, practicality, or even personal preference. It's just what a community or a culture agrees upon, and that's the only reason we don't wear a ball gown or a bathing suit to work. At least most of us don't.

Even if you're good with belly buttons, probably there's someplace you'd draw the line.

Perhaps you missed the post that followed my comment that cheerleaders can and do receive college scholarships?

Would you like links to all the times that you have stated what is right for 10 year olds universally, or do you recall those statements?

I would agree, a great number of people wear what society thinks they should wear....however, mostly I do not.

That Mom would be me. I wouldn't go to all the trouble of getting my kids up early on Sunday and dressed for church if "Wee Worship" consisted of watching Disney movies. They could sleep in and watch Disney in their pajamas if that's what I was after in a religious experience.
