One of our "best" (pretty location, generally affluent families) high schools is having their annual prom. It came about that the principal wanted to crack down on "grinding". Well, what is that? I guess a boy comes up behind a girl on the dance floor and "grinds" sounded like doing an Elvis with bodily ccontact.

So the discussion went back and forth. The whole business made me almost ill to think that any parent would alllow their daughter to be defiled, yes defiled by such behavior on the part of any male at the dance.

If that's what it's come to, what else is going on at that school? But the alternatives are difficult as two parents have to work so not everybody can home school and private schools are very expensive unless you can get a scholarship for your child.

The parents are putting their precious “lifestyles” ahead of their children.

I don’t feel sorry for them; I view them with contempt.

Not that it will make you feel any better, but these days it’s probably more often the girl leaning into and grinding on the boy. Drive past a middle school and see how the girls are dressed; we’ve raised a generation (or more) for whom the term “slut” has lost its sting.

That is just too much.

At my prom the wildest thing we did was “The Time Warp” from “The Rocky Horror Picture Show”.
