The Toledo Blade has reported that more and more schools in Ohio like Westerville North High School are banning painted public displays on high school torsos and tummies. Students who support their athletic teams will have to cover up their art and cheer, stomp, clap and make other noises to show how they feel about their teams. The report says that the ban is intended to make students more respectfull of opponents and officials and that Catholic schools in the area have similar prohibitions. Apparently, Upper Arlington schools near Columbus insituted the ban at least 10 years ago, but I have seen colorful displays on high school students at local football games in the Cleveland area.
