Inappropriate Dancing is No Longer School Appropriate By: Andrea Weirauch and Sarah Yaney School dances at Liberty Center High School have changed forever. “Grinding”, “Twerking”, and or inappropriate physical contact while dancing will no longer be tolerated at Liberty Center High School. These rules were added to the handbook at the beginning of the school year and every student signed a paper agreeing that they had read the rules and under- stood them. The handbook states: “For grades 7 through 12, all school rules and code of conduct are in force during all dances. Students must face their partner when dancing and inappropriate dancing will not be tolerated. Students will be warned the first time and be asked to leave the sec- ond time. Parents will be called when a student is being asked to leave the dance for inappropri- ate dancing. The dress code is in force during all dances.” As we all know, this was a big controversy this year at our homecoming dance. In lieu of all of our actions, this behavior should not take place at a school event because what if people in the community came in and saw that? What would they think of that behavior? Our dances are school affiliated and therefore school behavior should still be carried out and respected.

Opinion Column Trick or Treat? By: Gaby Hawkins

Halloween is a time for scares, candy and dressing up as your favorite character, superhero, etc. It seems Halloween is turning more for the adults than for the kids. Halloween is meant for the little kids to run around in their costumes and receive candy from the neighbors. Adults, and teenagers especially are becoming more and more willing to go trick or treating in compromising costumes. This issue has been going on for a long time now and it needs to be addressed. Young children are being exposed to inappropriate teenage and adult costuming during trick or treat night and they shouldn’t be. Parents do not want their children being exposed to such things and have a right to say something about the issue. This Halloween season, teenagers and adults should be considerate to the young children that are influenced by the world around them and chose something more conservative or decide to hand out candy instead.
