I couldn't find any such thing as a Mrs. Grundy petition. Sounds pretty stupid.
A few years ago we were checking out what changes were made to our state's high school swimsuit rules, necessary after all the hoopla about tech suits and compression and all. We found that, somehow, on the boy's side of the rules, it was written kind of like this "the leg opening hem must be horizontally parallel to the waistband when viewed from the front, side, or rear."
We scratched our heads on that one. When I asked the High School Sports Association's head swimming official how that happened, he just laughed and said they would disregard that, just look beyond that sentence, at the list of swimsuits named by brand and model that were banned, copied from USA Swimming's ruling.
I think some Mrs. Grundy tried to to ban briefs from high school swimming in our state. Where they remain very very popular among kids who aren't ashamed of themselves for whatever reason others are.
