Just one of the many reasons why the DOE (along with several other Federal agencies) should be dismantled.
More idiocy from the DOE! Guess these folks will have to rent a place away from the school and have their dances. No doubt the PC ilk will follow them there to protest and throw tantrums.
That's nothing! Ever hear the story of newcomer Ren McCormack? From Chicago, Ren is in shock when he discovers the small Midwestern town he now calls home has made dancing and rock music illegal. As he struggles to fit in, Ren faces an uphill battle to change things. With the help of his new friend, Willard Hewitt, and defiant teen Ariel Moore, he might loosen up this conservative town. But Ariel's influential father, Reverend Shaw Moore, stands in the way. Tough times!
I should be surprised but nothing does anymore.
This is just the tip of the iceberg. No male, no females, no mothers no fathers because someone will be offended. I guess we will each have a number. There is a goal to dehumanize everyone and reduce us to an assigned label. good luck with that. Ridiculous
Yep. What would be wrong with leaving things as is, and allow some father, as an act of charity "adopt" another girl who doesn't have a father to bring her? Instead of facilitating an act of love like that, just cancel the whole thing?? Brilliant leadership, once again, by the PC Police.Sick
I agree with the OP's statement. I especially include people that post political crap on a football message board.
Love Clutch. Electric Worry, The Regulator, The Mob Goes Wild, Quick Death in Texas...Cypress Grove...all awesome.Smokin
I have a story that sort of goes along with the article, not really the same situation in any way, but more just pointing to the ridiculous culture in schools these days.
When my oldest son; who is now in 6th grade, was in 1st grade, I was picking him up from school one day. For safety reasons and what not, the teachers don't let the kid go until they see their parent or someone they recognize, then they'll let them go, just to be safe that they aren't sending them with someone who isn't authorized. I had pretty much picked my son up everyday that year, so it definitely wasn't that the teacher didn't recognize me or anything, but she wasn't letting my son go when she saw me. Usually this meant that they had done something during school that they wanted to talk to you about, and would wait until all the other kids had gone.
When all the other kids had gone, I walked over to talk to the teacher, who still had my son standing by her side. This was when she motioned for someone else to come over, and I see the principal of the school walking over to me. Now I'm really starting to wonder what the heck a little first grader, who tended to be on the pretty quiet side, could have done to warrant the principal talking to me. Come to find out, at some point during recess or something, my son had put his hand in the shape of a "gun" and made some noises like he was shooting. To my knowledge, he didn't really aim at anyone specifically or tell anyone he was going to shoot them (again, a 1st grader we're talking about), just in the process of playing, he did this. Can't remember all the details anymore, but I believe I remember they had him go sit in timeout or whatever the heck they did, and the principal even came and talked to him about it; and he might have to sit out playtime the next day too.
The entire time the principal was talking to me, I had to act like I took this all very seriously and was going to have a talk with him; all the while I'm actually going back and forth between wanting to laugh my head off and being very angry that I had my time wasted by having to wait to talk to the principal about it, and that they acted like my son had done something horribly wrong by simply playing like about 95% of boys would play.

If you read the article the dance isn’t even being taken away...they’re going to continue having the dance and rebrand it to be more inclusive of students who don’t have fathers or students with gay parents, etc.
It’s not near as big of a deal as some of the phrasing and parent quotes in the article make it out to be. It shouldn’t matter what the name of a dance is, but from a legal perspective, the DOE is doing what’s necessary to save money by preventing potential discrimination lawsuits.

sorry thing is, these fools keep making changes that take a lot of fun out of childhood but won't make a damn bit of difference to how these kids turn out as adults. All the boys I grew up with in 3 different towns played "guns" or "cowboys and indians" or WWII etc etc as one thing they did, at home and at recess, and it didn't hurt anyone or warp anyone a bit. And the gender-bending stuff is even worse, with sick adults deciding their grade school child is really "trans" and being allowed by the culture to basically experiment on that child's development. Glad my childhood was long ago.
Politics? This is about dancing...which is a sport
For first graders his should be treated with the exact same approach as if he flipped off another kid. For a seventh grader, start counseling.
I disagree ... i generally think people are good. The confusion arises when groups of people arrange themself around doctrine they partially believe in that evolve grossly to one side, or the other to combat the opposition. We're seeing this in spades, as we can no longer find common ground.
Unfortunately, it will take a historical event to bring us all back together!

Dude, agree! They are even better live. I try to catch all their shows when they are close to Omaha. "The regulator's swinging pendulum!"
They were in Lincoln, recently, near Christmas , I think. We had to miss, dang it! Also missed Rival Sons in Lincoln a couple years ago, and this past summer in Denver. My wife and I have vowed...never again!!
Yeah, still...the PC effort is always the same. Rather than celebrate a really good thing (strong father- daughter relationships) redefine things and make it so broad and inclusive it loses its meaning. Swing and a miss...
XX and XY.... Life doesn't really go on any other way for the human being. Either evolutionary or creative paradigms show and tell of the human animal procreating one way only.
Time to just accept truth...and hopefully The Truth.

Lol I can’t miss if I’m not swinging at anything. PC aside, my point is that either the dance changes its name now, or the DOE/school district will eventually experience a costly lawsuit and have to change the name anyway. Probably better to change it now and save a little taxpayer money.
The worst part about extreme PC culture is its exploitation of the legal system and the societal expectation to conform to it. We all know some of it’s ridiculous. I’m just thankful to live in a democratic system that emphasizes individual rights and liberties. Even though it’s not perfect, and I don’t agree with everything.
IMO strong family relationships will be encouraged by having a dance. I don’t see how changing the dance’s name devalues a father/daughter relationship or takes away from the celebration of family members.
Regardless of what it’s called, I hope all the daughters and dads are still able to enjoy their dance and a night of each other’s company.
Wait...how are they going to have an 8th grade dance...that is not all inclusive. Prom will now be open to all ages...K-12...Right?
I was at that show, it was the best one I've been to, they did every song you listed except Electric Worry. They will be back!
Good to hear it was so good (though it hurts)- why no Electric Worry, I wonder?!? Harmonica player on Injured Reserve??
Thank you. When it comes right down to it, 3rd graders are 8th graders, too!
Don't dare tell them otherwise
Destruction of the nuclear family. This is the radical leftists goal.
I'm just about 6 decades but my wife says I act like an 8th grader so I guess I IDENTIFY as an 8th grader. I think I want to go......
