A dance at Fayetteville-Manlius High School in Fayetteville, NY (just outside of Syracuse, NY) has come to a grinding halt. Administrators at the school have canceled the dance due to suggestive dancing. Grinding also known as freaking was spotted at previous dance events and has concerned parents and staff. The previous dance had been stopped 15 minutes early due to the sexual dancing. An administrator was quoted in the Syracuse Post Standard as saying

“The next dance, to be held in February, will be combined with an “activity night,” with alternatives such as volleyball and badminton offered. If someone is caught “grinding,” they’ll be asked to leave the dance floor and can join another activity.”

This is just what high school’ers want to do, play volleyball with there friends on a Saturday night while all there friends are dancing. Should we be worrying about how students are dancing? I’m not sure this is an issue that our schools should be worrying about. The school system needs to focus more on education and getting kids to learn. What do you think?
