Free association? What free association? If a fag wants to grope you, you’d better not refuse him. And don’t you dare discriminate when choosing a dance partner. Oh, and you have to give Valentines to everyone, even people you don’t like.

We’re all komrades here, after all.

I think it is being equated with that because the boy has allegedly made public statements of a disturbing sexual nature.

He may have merely repeated something he had been taught by the teacher in class. They are introducing kids to sex at very young ages these days.

What’s next? State enforced rape?

Apparently. State forced Abortion will take care of any possible problems along those lines. What a country!!

Another article said the policy includes must accept same sex dance partners. Also public schools are putting adult gang banger rapists in middle schools.
I as a Mom would have a problem with that. The only solution would be to get rid of dances.

Even in the most conservative areas of America, there are NO conservative or common sense public education school systems. Not one.

Why do they have dances in middle school? That is too young.

I do wonder if they play Red Rover today?

I guess they don't let kids do anything on their own these days. They are told, shown, supervised, coached, taught, and indoctrinated in every activity. I wonder what affect that has on their independence as adults. Will they require the nanny state to tell them when to say yes or no to everyday things.

A junior high dance when I was a kid was a cafeteria, DJ and some chaperones, which basically stayed out of site. No rules, just a time and place. Certainly, there were expectations about behavior, but that came from parents. Didn't know how to dance? No problem, your sister taught you or there were a couple of girls at school which were always trying to teach the boys to dance. (It was the height of Disco back then). If you were a wallflower,you either stayed home or hung out with the other wallflowers, standing awkwardly in a corner.

Thinking back to those days I have really fond memories. I even got my first girlfriend at the valentine's day dance when I was in 8th grade. That quickly ended a week later when pitchers and catchers practice began after school. Baseball still dominated my mind despite rampant teenage hormones.

The next step will be you can’t say “No” when someone of your same gender asks you to dance with them.

Sure its so everyone can feel comfortable...

This is why UK Feminists are regularly branded as TERF’s...

While the school may have no trans identifying children yet.... this creates a policy to not have their feelings hurt by cis-gender kids with no interest in dancing with them whenever they do appear.

Educators are some of the biggest authoritarian control freaks to ever suck air in a pair of lungs and you can’t argue with them, they are “professionals!”

I would tell my kid, go to the dance, if you don’t want to dance with someone tell them sorry, no. If the teachers says you must you tell them you don’t own my body and I am not your slave, I CHOOSE who I dance with and no one else.

All this is an effort to protect those little waifs who never get asked. In our local school system they forbid florist or parents to take Valentines to their kids or to send a balloon or rose to a kid because one kid might not get anything and their feelings get hurt. I know several florists who were big time donators to the school system and this policy killed those donations like an Hbomb. Educators are for the most idiots.

I guess the solution is to stop having the dances.

Or they could do what schools did in the old days. There were two situations where dancing occurred. In the typical "dances" you asked someone to dance and they said either yes or no. Part of the experience was learning about rejection, hanging out with your friends and hoping for attention, etc. You certainly learned about how both parties have to consent to the interaction.

The second situation where dancing occurred was during gym class when the teachers decided square dancing was the activity of the week. In that situation you didn't get to chose your partner, and as the dance progressed you had to dance with whoever ended up as your partner or corner. Of course the amount of contact between dancers was minimal, and given that everyone was wearing their gym uniforms it was about as far away from romantic as you can imagine.

The solution is to give up expecting ladylike and gentlemanly behavior from people who aren’t ladies and gentlemen.

At my daughter’s school, the senior girls had a meeting with the freshman girls and informed them if a boy from the school invited them to Homecoming they and to say yes. A bunch of us parents quickly put the kibosh on that deal, where does that stop? If the boy wants to kiss her? If the boy wants to have sex with her? Does she have to say yes? So, no. If that is how Utah wants to conduct itself, the parents need to step up.

“Schools, like any bureaucracy, are run by little Hitlers. These are losers who, on their own merits, would never be able to order anyone to do anything. However, empowered by their position in govt, they immediately abuse their authority.

Historically, there is only one solution to tyrants, large and small.”

Yes, true.

What if a boy ask a boy?
What if a boy wants to kiss another boy?
What if the other boy says no!?
