NEWS: What Would Kevin Bacon Do?

CULTURE: What Would Kevin Bacon Do?

In a strange case of life imitating the movies, Lemoore Union High School in Lemoore California has banned all dancing for the year's remaining school dances. The ban was issued after students disobeyed a warning, at a winter formal last month, telling them to "either quit dirty dancing or face the possibility of not dancing at all."

There is still hope, however, in that students may have to sign a form in which they will agree that dancing in an unapproved fashion will get them kicked out of school.

Where's Kevin Bacon when you need him?

By 'dirty dancing' they mean 'freaking', and I'm glad someone is trying to put an end to it.

They might have fun in ways which hadn't occured to the boring people who dominate their lives.

do you have the link to the full article? i'd like to read that.


the school is about 20 mins from where i live.

This seems to be the article quoted, but you can find others on google.

AP wire story

Where's my "DANCE YOUR ASS OFF" t-shirt when I need it?!

Someone should organise a dance it where all the randy teenagers overtake the gym and hump each others legs off. Admit it, it'll be beautiful.

Puritanism, removing the 'human' from humanity...

This guys needs to pull the stick out of his ass, and then the kids need to stop bitching. Yeah he is being a puritan assmuch, but the kids had warning, and broke the rules anyway. IMO they fucked themselves. In addition an out to the the no dancing has been provided, if they can pull their heads out of their asses long enough to follow it.




TKS

make sense of this...got up this morning...to the pull tight hair...hollywood running...this dance article...I don't get it.

p.s. Kids are dumb. High school 'dirty dancing' is gross. Why, back in my day we used to leave room for the Holy Spirit. These damn kids don't know what's good for 'em. *waves cane in the air*

Poor kids. I guess they'll have to stay home and fingerbang/handjob each other instead. But at least they ain't dancin'.

I love Kevin Bacon threads

I thought the whole point of school dances was to help stimulate kid's interest in sex/the opposite sex? Get them hanging out with people outside their normal "clique"?

oh you know they're all gonna cut loose...
footloose.

Was Kenny Loggins available for comment?

I find it shameful to think that it's got "Hawkins" in it. What the hell is a "dance" if you can't "dance"? Why not call it an "ice-cream social?"

I'm always about 6 degrees away from doing something Kevin Bacon would do.

This sounds like a job for...



He gives the orders here.

right next to my "no fat chicks" t.

if we cant find bacon i got chriss penn on speed-dial.

No. But he will freak you like you've never been freaked before.
