EXETER — Exeter High School may do away with school dances because of what officials call inappropriate dancing. The idea upsets students, who blame a generation gap and say there’s no way to change the dancing style they’ve grown up learning.
Principal Victor Sokul said he asked 19 students to leave a school dance on Friday, Feb. 13 after they were seen “grinding.” This type of dancing, in which two dancers rub their bodies against each other in a sexually suggestive manner, is not permitted per school policy, Sokul said.
And rock & roll is the tool of the Devil! It's corrupting our youth!
Since when did NH get taken over by friggin' Baptists? Kids are dancing provocatively? No shit, sherlock. They've been dancing provocatively since, well, humans first realized that you could make music and then dance to it. They're teenagers - basically bags of hormones with feet - that's what they do.
And, sadly, overreacting to it is apparently what "grown-ups" do these days...
That is all.

Yup. Teens have been dancing "provocatively" throughout human history, and parents have been yammering about it for just as long.
Q:Why do Southern Baptists admonish pre-marital relations?
A: Could lead to dancing . . .

Come on, guys, this is an official high school dance. There's quite a difference between a couple dancing & their bodies rubbing together throughout while they slither along with the beat in a somewhat sensual manner versus a girl turning her back to the guy and grinding her ass against his crotch while thrusts at her, all in front of the principal.
Maybe that's just the "father of a little girl who'll be going to those dances in about 6 years" in me coming out, but there are definite lines that can - and often are - crossed at these outings. I've seen it & if I dry humped my wife as much as those kids do on the dance floor I'd need a Jerry Tarkanian towel thrown across my shoulder to wipe away the excess splooge from inside my pants on a constant basis.
Seriously Jay, if you'd seen this dancing, you'd think it was inappropriate for high school as well.
Hell, I think it's inappropriate for any public setting; and this is coming from someone who has screwed standing up on the dancefloor (in a private metal club, not a high school dance) to NiNs "Closer".
Chris,
You're my new idol.
I'm with RW and Chris on this one.
I know I am an old man but about 5 years ago my wife chaperoned a homecoming dance at the high school and was stunned by what was called "dancing". Believe you me, it ain't the jitterbug or the twist.
I am so damned glad my girls are grown and married now.
Q. why won't Southern Baptists fuck standing up?
A. They are afraid somebody will think they are dancing.
Per school policy watching old tapes of Elvis are also now officially banned.
And while we're at it, can we keep then dang kids off my lawn?
Heh. I refuse to rebut Chris' comment on the grounds that my wife would kick my ass...
Look, if you've brought your kids up right, you've got nothing to worry about.
Whether they're "grinding", regular ol' slow dancing, or sexy salsa dancing, they're either gonna or they're not gonna.
It ain't the dancin', it's the havin' teenaged boys that close to teenaged girls...
You're absolutely right about that last bit Jay; but there's a difference between understanding the biology, and endorsing the behavior in a school sponsored event.
Teenagers are going to fuck whether we give them a place to do it or not. Does that mean we should give them private spaces to do it?

Well, we give them sex education, condoms, abortion counseling through the public schools, so why not conjugal visits?
Speaking of which, I probably sound like a member of the John Birch Society, but is it just slightly possible that in the school sex education is giving tacit approval to teenage sex? After all, if the schools teach them math, they expect them to do homework.
In school sex education, back when it was being debated, was touted as better than learning it in the streets because it would REDUCE teenage pregnancies. How's that working out?
Yeah, I thought so.
