School boots 3 girls in 'Underpants'
6 minutes ago
A high school principal has decreed that Captain Underpants has no place in an ins ution 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 leo s 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.

What the ? It was only Jersey Day at my daughter's school...not superhero day.
That's cute.
I wouldn't let my daughter wear that. Call me old fashioned.
There is nothing wrong with that costume. The principal is an idiot.
naked or not the costume is awefull
I must be getting old and becoming my father....and that's a good thing.
Why do they look like there 12 or 13 years old in the pictures?
The costumes are tasteless, and inappropriate, imo. Most school dress codes say that if an outfit is distracting it is inappropriate. If i were going to be Captain Underpants I would just put a pair of underwear over some jeans or something lame like that.

To me, there's nothing majorly wrong with the costumes, other than being ugly.
I wonder if a girl wore a Wonder Woman outfit (which would likely be showing more skin) would she be sent home?
Uh, kids don't typically wear superhero costumes to school unless it is a designated special event...not a normal school day. And it's pretty much supposed to be distracting, they even have contests for the most creative.
Tomorrow my daughter is wearing pajamas and slippers to school (Red Ribbon Week). I'd think any other day but tomorrow that wouldn't be very appropriate.
I don't think there is anything wrong with those costumes if it's supposed to be Dress Like Your Favorite Superhero Day.
My youngest wore pajamas to school today too...but it wasn't a teddy.
Those girls are covered neck to feet...there's nothing provocative about what they are wearing. Probably brought on by the fact that they do look 12.
Exactly. They have more of their body covered than probably anyone else at the school that day, teachers included.Those girls are covered neck to feet...there's nothing provocative about what they are wearing. Probably brought on by the fact that they do look 12.
I guess it could have been worse. This could have been the school of Principal Wedgie.
I concur but I still wouldn't allow my daughter to wear that.
I'm an uncool dad I guess.
They should have been sent home on the grounds that those are ugly ass costumes and other students at the school would have been forced to look at those hideous things. BTW, no way those girls are 17...they look no older than 12 as someone else said....
I'm waiting for 1P1 to post pictures of her halloween costume this year.
