Yeah, and when a dog humps your leg he's just dancing, right?

``I don't understand why it's an issue,'' said Blake, 16. ``You have four layers of clothing between you.''Today, maybe, but what about tomorrow's dance?

In my day, we called it what it was - "dry humping".Exactly, with Motley Crue playing in the background.
If I caught my daughter engaged in that act, I'd cuff both of them upside the head.

Were I a gambling man, I'd bet that eventually "freaking" will be a category in ballroom dancing competitions, and that by then there will be some other dance that school principals et al. will be up in arms about. About the only thing left is a strip tease and actual copulation.
But I'm sure you'll be out there cheering when your daughter enters her first "freaking" competition.

I'm glad the school is taking a stand. I've seen "freaking" (or "skin dancing" as they call it here in AZ)--it's unbelievably disgusting to see anyone do this, much less children.
When I was in high school the teachers would break us up if they (literally) couldn't see daylight between dance partners--while "Cherish" and "Hey Jude" blared on he school's record player. LOL--those were the good old days.

"I read the article. The comments by the kids were very telling. 'What's the problem? There are four layers of clothes between us.'" The teenagers aren't even aware of their own urges. If I bumped and grinded on the dance floor for an hour with a girl, four layers of clothes notwithstanding, I would be desperate to find anyplace in that gym where I could repeat the act without any intervening layers. My guess is that unless the bathrooms, dark corners, and parking lot are monitored, the teens are freaking naked, not clothed, by the time the evening ripens.

The culture was much better/saner when the worst thing a student did was chew gum.

The waltz was also criticized on moral grounds by those opposed to its closer hold and rapid turning movements.... These days I hesitate to use French, but, plus ca change... (1) Perhaps it might be a category in some other arena in another age, but "freaking" of this nature can already be found in major towns except that it's licensed and somewhat regulated - it's called "adult" XXX entertainment.
(2) By your logic, I take it that principals should not even be "up in arms" about this behavior of juveniles under their supposed control / supervision. And one wonders why people pull their kids out of public schools....
(3) This country is on a steady decline down its road of moral relativism and although it is no use to stop that trend (which I think is your point) -- I can at least just slow it in areas or people whom I can influence, and I'll give this principal points for trying to do her part.

When I was in High school the "Twist" was popular.
Yes, I'm older than disco.
Back then Rock and Roll was called,
The vertical fulfillment of a horizontal desire.

We had this issue here in San DIego last year, remember? The Asst. Principal was fired because she "checked" some of the girls when they arrived for the dance. She was checking for thong underwear, remember? BIG deal all over the nation.
Apparently, some of the teachers observed the freak dancing at other dances. The girls were wearing very short skirts/dresses while also wearing thong underwear. They'd bend over, the guys were up against them.... I think you get the picture...
The "chaperones" were obviously ineffective because the students would ignore them. So, Ms. Rita Wilson, took it into her own hands and was fired because of it.
You should have heard the parents!!! And I don't mean in defense of Wilson! They defended their kids!!!
The other thing the "chaperones" noticed was all the "bodily fluids" left over on the floor after the dance.
Gross.

You are right, fair is fair. Making citizens pay for schooling of people they don't know, can be argued as being for the public good. How they can justify spending money of the taxpayers, for the minority of those that can or want to play sports, is much harder to justify. In your case, your inability to participate, because of your home school status, makes it all the more obvious, that the policy is very unfair.
