Their solution: Fight explicit teen dancing with an equal dose of explicitness. Downey and Aliso Niguel are among the first schools to draft "dance contracts," binding agreements that parents and students must sign before a teenager can step onto the dance floor.
Administrators say the graphic descriptions in the contracts leave little room for arguments over interpretation and put everyone on notice about appropriate behavior.
The Downey contract, for example, specifies "no touching breasts, buttocks or genitals. No straddling each others' legs. Both feet on the floor." Students get two warnings about sexually suggestive behavior before being booted without a refund and barred from other dances.
In Ventura Unified, the high school contract reads: "When dancing back to front, all dancers must remain upright -- no sexual bending is allowed i.e. no hands on knees and no hands on the dance floor with your buttocks touching your dance partner."
And then there's the issue of exposure.

“Sending your child to a public school is a form of child abuse.”
When I was in HS the worst thing you’d do is grab your dance partner’s butt.
Now they routinely simulate sexual intercourse on the dance floor.
All designed, I guess, to drive their adult chaperons crazy.

‘Now they routinely simulate sexual intercourse on the dance floor.”
From what I hear there is not all that much simulation involved.
When I went to Catholic high school in the early sixties we had the “daylight rule” enforced by the very stern Sisters of Mercy....ie: the nuns had to see daylight between the slow dancers...LOL...simpler times for sure!!
But I imagine that girl/girl and boy/boy dancing is just fine.
And better times for sure.
*sigh*
Yes, so we are told by many of you militant home-schoolers.
Would it completely fry your little mind if you were to learn that SOME public schools and... *gasp* ...even whole DISTRICTS are not the putrid depths of hell?
Here's a free clue: Sweeping, arrogant and laughably false statements are NOT a good way to persuade people to your way of thinking.
I feel the need to point out that, strictly speaking, it is not possible to dance with both feet on the floor.
Or walk.

My nieces are home-schooled and are Jr. Black belts in tae kwon do, and as soon as they can hold a .357 they’ll be out on the range, so “militant” isn’t so far off. At least they’re safe, slugger.
I love the part where it says boys must leave their hats, chains, and canes at home.
Shee, pimpin’ ain’t easy. Especially at these school dances.
Playa haters.
Sure they are.
Anywhere that has kicked God out is simply the "putrid depths of hell".
This isn't said to cause an argument, but to shine light on God's Word.
Does that junior-grade moron have even the slightest clue how stupid he looks?
It’s hard out here for a pimp.
That little punk ain’t a pimp ... although that probably is as high as his aspirations go.
He is a model....catch the brand label on his left sleeve.
If ....... WTH, why even start? Lost cause.
(I started with a ‘profound’ line of reasoning, but gave up.)
So he's wearing that ridiculous costume because somebody paid him to wear it.
OK.
I can actually respect that. Sort of ...
But ... the folks who would actually pay good money (probably lots of it) to buy the thing, and wear it in public ...
Refer to my previous comments.
