    I dont know about the woman who complained but the ACLU said

    “The school district recognized that in the 21st Century, public schools have no business fostering the notion that girls prefer to go to formal dances while boys prefer baseball games. This type of gender stereotyping only perpetuates outdated notions of ‘girl’ and ‘boy’ activities and is contrary to federal law.”

    They wont be content until they eliminate every heteronormative aspect of society they can, by labeling it sex discrimination.

    ??? No, it was a question you didnt answer, and yet felt compelled to respond to. I presume you are not in Rhode Island, you didnt read something printed on paper but you instead, saw somewhere reported in the media that this mother would have been prohibited from filling in for an absent father. A link to that material would be helpful at this point.

    Here's how it works. Not that I have to tell you, because you already know.

    It's a father-daughter dance. That means fathers, as in males.

    And let's be honest, if the mother did fill in for the father you lot would still complain about it. You can't stand disobedience against gender roles.

    It's still a law and the law has to be followed. If you're a Rhode Island resident and you don't like it, vote in state reps that will get it repealed.

    Your belief that we would complain if a woman were to attend, isnt prohibiting a woman from attending. Its OBVIOUS who it is that is obfuscating

    8 likes and 3 dislikes and more rolling in. I have never had such a big reaction to any post on this forum. I must have really hit a hot spot.

    The thing is, if you want to know where this country is heading read the goals of the Communist party written during the 1930's, which can be founded on any Communist website.

    Well no you’re a lire and theirs some contention over what’s good and wholesome theirs no conspiracy to take your marriage away or make people raise their kids with only 1 parent. Probably no communist plots going on wither.

    That being said ya this seems ridiculous but it’s an easy fix let any parent dance with any kid of theirs and the status quo will be restored this kid and mom will still have to get over their daddy issues

    One of the Communist goals was to dumb down American public education and its obviously working, as we can see in your post.

    It was Fidler and Bullslaw that did. And when I questioned their assertions you accused me of obfuscation. Sounds like now you agree. No one prohibited the mother from showing up in the absent fathers place. They simply presumed she would be.

    By god your right you done shown me the errors o me ways praise Jesus

    Hear I’ll get this post up to you lofty standards

    Ahem the communist liberals are trying to all make us gay and they won’t stop till they have burnt down every church in America and the ACLU ultimate goal is to ban all religions in the United States before electing Lucifer as are new communist chairman

    There we go a nice mix of dishonesty and slander and paranoia and madness as befitting your fine thread
    Now on a less hysterical and accusing note ya this is ridiculous but the problem can be easily sidestepped while being fair to every one

    The woman is the reason the dances were banned.

    She complained so she is to blame.

    Supt. Judith Lundsten said the move was triggered by a letter ifrom the American Civil Liberties Union on behalf of a single mom who had complained that her daughter had not been able to attend her father-daughter dance.


    Read the above from the article..... the mother was the one to complain and sounds like she went to the ACLU.

    Sounds like a typical lib - spoil it for everyone else.......

    So now - where's the 'childish bull(*)(*)(*)(*)'?

    And then the school decided what to do from there. Blaming the mother just because she complained is dishonest. The school didn't have to make the choice they made.

    So what is the point of education?

    Is it to help people achieve what THEY want to achieve?

    Or is to PROGRAM them behave like the American Taliban SAYS they should behave?

    If girls like baseball and boys like dancing , why the hell NOT let them do it?

    Geez, I thought this crap was gone in the 70's and here it is AGAIN from the "gotta be normal" society judges!


    I am just waiting for "hetero-normalizers" to go around like the Right Wing did in the 1960s, measuring boys and girls hair lengths whining "We can't tell if you are a BOY or a GURRL" so you are destroying society! :roll:

    Pathetic people with pathetic lives and NO accomplishments trying to drag EVERYONE down to THEIR level of inanity and cud-chewing insipidness.

    That's definitely simple, but it's no solution.

    It's simpler than him protesting his dad having him play baseball due to the "evil global conspiracy of heterosexual normal conditioning", that's for sure.

    Another win for PC and watering down everything imaginable. I think people who want to remove anything that can pose any sort of insult no matter how minor, have a mental disorder. Why even have the dance at all since it really has no meaning at this point. Just call it a "guardian and child get together" since you shouldn't call it dance since not all the kids might want to dance with the adult supervisor thats with them. Lets start banning ALL holidays too and love and friendship since there are kids out there that lack those too. Ban everything that someone else doesn't have, because its fair.

    We are. Your comment is non sequitur. We individuals have the rugged individualism to cope with unsatisfactory feelings, and the realization that life isn't fair.

    It's the same thing we do if we don't make the varsity football team. We don't whine and demand that high school football be shut down simply because not everyone can make the team.

    There are no rights here. As usual, liberals aren't smart enough to understand the difference between a right and a privilege.

    What about it? Liberals are actually tyrannical enough to think that there should be laws covering this sort of thing? How about liberal get their focking noses out of societal decisions and traditions like this?

    So quick to excuse the ACLU. They were intrusive and smug enough to think that they should get involved with this asinine attempt to once again screw with traditions. In addition, Rhode Island State Law didn't do this; leftist asshats who bent laws to fit their purposes did this. There is nothing illegal about father/daughter dances; to think so is exemplary of the stupidity of liberals. Again.

    That is a ridiculous stance. It is akin to blaming a gun for shooting someone instead of the person that pulled the trigger. Had the mother not made her ridiculous complaint, the dance would have continued.
