>

> ~~~~~~~~~~~THEN~~~~~~~~~~~~

> Someone said teachers and principals better not

> And the school administrators said no faculty member

> And we accepted their reasoning..

> Someone said, let's let our daughters have

> And we said, that's a grand idea..

> Some wise school board member said, since boys

> And we said we have no problem with that.

> ~~~~~~~~~~~THEN~~~~~~~~~~~~

> Someone else took that appreciation a step further

> The entertainment industry said, let's make TV
