LONG BEACH, N.Y. --A high school principal has decreed that Captain Underpants has no place in an institution of learning. 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."

"They're not see-through or anything," said one of the girls, Chelsea Horowitz, an honor student and softball player. "All the teachers thought it was cute."

But Restivo made his decree: There would be no visible underpants in his hallways.

And thus, Horowitz and fellow seniors Ashley Imhof and Eliana Levin went home to change back into their mortal attire.

5. That principal needs to remove the corncob

He should be happy those girls wore something clever and funny, instead of the slutwear that a lot of girls that age wear for halloween.

My grandson loves the Capt. Underpants books!

7. Nominated!

:rofl:

This is against freedom of speech, man!

:rofl:

Seriously, educators harp about kids not being creative, then when they are, they get sent home. They used a child's character from a well-known book for God's sake! And the fact that the principal didn't know who the character was speaks volumes.
