Suburban Chicago High School Outlaws Bump N Grind
By Samantha Abernethy in News on Feb 20, 2012 10:20PM
Teachers at a Des Plaines high school want students to leave some room for the holy spirit. They've instituted a policy at Maine West High School dances to keep students from getting a little too dirty with their dancing.
The school requires all dance-goers to wear a wristband. If they are caught "dancing in a way that simulates a sexual act" the wristband is removed. If they're caught doing it again after that, they'll be sent home.
Trib Local writes:
“We’re certainly not the only school in the country dealing with this issue. It seems to be becoming more mainstream and more the norm…and it certainly is not,” Assistant Principal Dave Berendt said of inappropriate dancing. “If we continue to turn a blind eye to it, we’re just condoning the behavior.”
Yeah, we can't picture a high school dance without that kind of down and dirty. We'll skip the comparisons to Footloose and Girls Just Wanna Have Fun and Dirty Dancing, and go straight to pointing out this is something every parent wants to say when their kids start to grow up too fast. This sounds awfully similar to what parents said about the Twist. Hell, even the Waltz was once called "godless".
