High school's dances grind to a halt

Freak-dancing is, yes. I was talking about the Le Freak we did to the song of the same name - remember that?

"Aaaaaw, FREAK OUT! Le freak, c'est chic!"

[Xenalyte]

Thank you! What you said.

-"It's feigning a sex act," Connolly said...But some students and parents don't see it that way."-

These "some parents" should never have become parents.

Whats dancing correctly? The waltz was considered scandalous at one time. I got thrown out of a high school dance in 1962 for doing the shimmy. What about the song "doing the dog" and "riding the pony". Can't remember the correct names, but slow and rhythmic, very sexy.

"The look is extremely sexual, but the intent is not," Duval said."

Bravo sierra! I very clearly remember my adolescent hormones, and friends and neighbors, shaking hands could have held sexual intent for me. It's hardwired (no pun intended) for Pete's sake!

assault on the school systems to encourage "tolerance" has brought....

It has brought a problem that cannot be easily cured.

Since we have so many parents who think that exploring sex is an important high school activity. We will be over run with Muslims before they realize that some people know that sex is too powerful to be left to your sex-drive.

"I think you've hit it. Next will be the GLBT crowd wanting to do this at the HS dance."

That's exactly it; the agenda is being foisted on our kids from kindergarten to college level, espousing the "appreciation" of sex deviates' lifestyles, and the lack of ANY personal responsiblity for one's actions. The obvious result is the lack of decency and responsible actions by the indoctrinated "yewts".....

People have a right to their own troubles, I suppose.

Most cities have a public t.v. channel. I guess I would suggest a video and show it on public t.v. Let the public decide.

[Politicalmom]

You've watched too much Will Smith. :)

[Gordongekko909]

No I haven't. I've seen Men in Black once or twice, and maybe three full episodes of Fresh Prince.

[gogeo]

Right.

Yeah...not high school boys.

[Ainast]

Have you seen FUSE's "No Pants Dance Off"?

Google it. Its freaky as hell.

[Esther Ruth]

Next will be the GLBT crowd wanting to do this at the HS dance.

I had Michal Medved on yesterday in the car. He played a clip from Ophrah (I don't watch any TV) but he played this clip of some gay politician talking about the first time he did it with another man behind some synagogue in some back alley -- It was so nauseating, could hardly listen, and then there was gay poetry I think ( more nausea) -- then oprah's audience applauding with glee madly! God help us - Yes the high schools are next.

If they're in a club it might be one thing, but this is chool property and the kids should at least show some respect for that.

Of course it doesn't mean I don't wish I was twenty years younger (and thinner...) : )

[traditional1]

"He played a clip from Ophrah "

This is the person some yahoo wants to draft as a Democrat candidate for POTUS!

Thes moonbats will endorse ANY celebrity that has no skills, no common sense, panders to the fringes, and has a recognizable face.

I never thought I'd see Gwar mentioned on the freep.

Mid 60's the monkey and the dog were two popular dances. The song that started the dog craze actually had lyrics "Do the dog, do the dirty dog". I was in college at the time and remember a couple of bar contests to see which couple could do the dog the dirtiest. Nothing new under the sun folks.

'Course that was a college town bar, not a high school dance. Parents and teachers need to set and enforce rules. The kids will sneak out back and ignore them just like we did, but at least they know there are rules.
