BRIGHTON, Mich. -- Administrators at Brighton High School said they’re trying to stop a style of dancing they consider obscene on school grounds and recently canceled a popular winter event to make their point.
Officials were concerned students would engage in “freaking" or sexually suggestive movements on the dance floor.
The school required anyone interested in attending the Feb. 6 Winterfest dance to sign a contract beforehand, Detroit television station WDIV reported.

I saw a demonstration of this phenom in the aisle of the local grocery store recently. It’s graphic. Reminded me of the way chimps and monkeys signal that they want some.
SINFUL!
female bent over, grinding buttocks on the front of a male (or female) behind her... Maybe not the best thing for public school gymnasiums...
He’s right, in a twisted kind of way. Freak dancing ISN’T ‘suggestive’ - it’s explicit.
Maybe "dancing" is the wrong word. A far more accurate expression of this activity is "dry humping".
The dances I used to attend had something called adult chaperones. Perhaps the solution might be to recruit a few in case lap dances break out, or the kids drag in a stripper pole.
Otherwise, calling off the whole event because there’s a new dance fad is the wrong course of action.
Now, they’ll just get together anyway and dance in back seats where, unsupervised, it’ll surely advance to the next level.
“Awww, no dance? We’ll just hang out.”
Now I need a shower.
Ahh the good old days where the main goal was to spike the punch.
Why not just boot the kids acting indecently? There’s no signature or contract needed.
The school just needs to state that lewd or otherwise disruptive behavior will warrant immediate removal from the dance.
Call to parents, come get your moron kid that couldn’t refrain from dry-humping his girlfriend in public.
Case closed.
A much better solution than booting them all out in the streets (after a run to CVS for some Trojans).
For some reason, poor Katie had to go solo.
Why is it that I’m in a minority who still remembers the raging hormones I felt 35 years ago and the gallant efforts that responsible adults took to keep them in check?
But then again, we didn’t have sexting, internet porn on demand, gay clubs, fisting lessons in school pamphlets and library books or predator female teachers back then.
Folks, grinding at organized dances is the least of our worries.
I used to read ‘Education Weekly’. I recall reading of trios on the dance floor ‘phreaking’. By it’s description, a girl crouches on all fours while one boy thrusts his pelvis into hers from behind while the boy in front of her pushes her face into his groin while he thrusts. This is not ‘the twist’, this is far more explicit than ‘Dirty Dancing’. The reason they aren’t dancing the way they did 50 years ago is because back then, simulating graphic, multi-partner, anonymous sex in public was frowned upon. (some attention was paid, in the article, to the fact that girls tended to accept partners they did not know) Once school had to write specific rules specifying how many hands/feet a girl could have on the floor at any time - hence the morphing of ‘all fours’ into a low crouch forward - that way one can still simulate sex and not break the rules. Terrible social pressure on the kids who don’t want to do this but don’t want to be seen as weird - ah the irony. Sad, really.

Ladies and gentlemen, this is where our culture is now. Makes the twist or other "old fashioned" dancing look like the minuette or square dancing. And you think this is the lowest it can go? There is not end to the degradation unless it is stopped by external force. How bad will it have to get before good citizens put a stop to it?
How to put a stop to it? There are many ways, telling the truth is the first one. How about parents attending such dances en masse and putting a stop to it? Of course, that's not the total answer, there is no "one" answer. But the brakes need to be slammed to the floor, only then can we turn this hellish descent into the abyss around.
If your idea of (apparently inevitable) social “progress” means acting more and more like animals in rut, where do you suppose a stopping point is? Live sex in public? Threesomes in public? When, in your opinion, is enough enough?
I’m trying to imagine the response I would have gotten if I’d have asked our school nurse for a free condom in 1975.
Today, there’s a glass cookie jar full of them on the high school receptionist’s desk.
May 22nd is Harvey Milk Day. A whole day celebrating perversion.
And we’re worried about a dance?
It’s not all that new and it isn’t a fad.
A book by the title “ Unhooked: How Young Women Pursue Sex, Delay Love and Lose at Both “ describes student culture at some of the ivy league schools. This form of dancing is the tip of the iceberg for a generation of students growing up in a truly alien landscape. The book focuses on particular demographics for college and high school but I checked it out a little with young people in my area and they confirm that it is accurate for them as well (though I realize that exceptions exist). Friends have sex with friends with no interest in any emotional commitment. Dating went out of style. If a young man asked a girl out on a date, she’d wonder why and think he was weird. Emotional commitment seems to be viewed as gullibility - there seems to be shame in wanting anything more than transitory anonymous sex because you are too sophisticated to expect/believe that more is worthwhile and attainable. I rented a DVD of ‘The Mentalist’ and when the cops were interviewing some surfers in their teens - the teens explained that they ‘hooked up’ (had sex) with each other freely but were somewhat horrified to hear it suggested that any of them were ‘lovers’ because ‘that would be weird’. Very sad.
Here’s the link for the book: http://www.amazon.com/Unhooked-Young-Women-Pursue-Delay/dp/B001A5UV8K/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1266868034&sr=8-1
You’re giving away your age.
This must have been before “Roe V. Wade” (1973).
There are no more “pregnant” cheerleaders. Only cheerleaders who have made a hasty visit to the abortion clinic.
So?...Is this the wonderful socialization homeschoolers are missing? ( Just wondering?)
