Dirty Dancing

Kudos to the administrators at Cleveland High School who put a well deserved kybosh on the Winter Semi-Formal dance this week after students went too far. Of course, students immediately went to the "we're expressing ourselves" excuse for their poor choices and ugly behavior. See the Oregonian article for more.

If they can't even follow simple guidelines for these kind of events, and if they're too idiotic to change what they're doing when they're getting clear direction to do so - what are they going to do later in life when it's not a dance? I shudder to think.

My hope is that in the coming days, the administration isn't painted in the negative light that students are trying to cast them in, but instead as professionals who did the right thing. Good for you!
