students have some new rules in this year's student handbook that go into great detail about what is not allowed at school dances.
The school bans grinding, which it defines as "a student dancing in front of another student with their body pressed into his/her crotch," in addition to simulating sex acts and "bending over in front of another individual."
The handbook provides these bullet points as guidelines for inappropriate dancing behavior:
-
Hands on floor or knees while in front of another individual
-
Bending over in front of another individual
-
Simulation of a sex act
-
Dresses being pulled up
-
Inappropriate hand placement
-
Inappropriate skin showing: Midriff, backside, chest, etc.
The handbook also prescribes punishment for dance or dress infractions as well, advising that students be asked to leave the dance, in addition to the possibility of being banned from further dances.
You can find the full description with the PDF to your right. The dance expectations entry is on the third page, highlighted in red.
I rarely post comments on these stories, However, Mr Morelli I was so totally incensed at your inability to grasp the most basic understanding of how morality is taught, fostered, and given as an example to our society's young, (as I'm seething at your lack of moral correctness, I realize you do not have children, or at least you do not have any that have been linked via DNA test to you, and i hope that you never do with an attitude like that.), I am assuming that the first defense you will come out with is , "Well, morals should be taught at home." , astonishingly I agree with you, ON THAT point alone, yet sadly I belive that is where your defense of your position ends. We cannot expect our children to be morally conscious adults without living the example. And this requires rules like these. Here Here, Linn-Mar High School !
