Should Schools Be Able To Ban Freaking?

With prom coming up, you've gotta worry about your dress, your hair, your limo. But there's one other obstacle you might have to deal with -- are you gonna get detention for freaking with your BF on the dance floor? It's not such a silly question! Schools all across the country are requiring students to sign contacts to attend dances, banning sexually suggestive dancing, and even canceling dances all together -- and your school could be next.

Last year, Principal Charles Salter of Aliso Niguel High School in California prohibited having dances at the school altogether. The reason? He's supposed to teach the students "appropriateness," he told NPR. In an e-mail he sent to parents, Principal Salter wrote, "I saw way too much of some of our young girls. Why do girls have to have themselves so exposed? Why are they wearing garters? Why do they have to have cleavage displayed so overtly and slits high up their thighs and then allow the boys [to] dance [and rub] up against them?" While school dances have been reinstated at Aliso Niguel, freaking is still forbidden.
