School Principal Defends Naked Student Farm Video

A group of high school students made a video for a "cabaret night" featuring "two bound and gagged naked women, a nude woman lying bareback on a horse and a half-naked man in a pig pen."

The school principal defended the video, saying "There's nothing wrong with being naked. That's still allowed... These nights are a way for the students to poke fun at themselves and be creative. I think the film is rather nice, actually. No-one is drunk; there is no alcohol, no drugs. It's just a bunch of naked kids having fun."

Now you would think that this story was some sort of satirical spoof, that no high school principal would dare to defend such student nudity. It's no joke, but it didn't happen in the United States, it happened in Sweden.

Had this happened in the United States, the students would have been suspended or even expelled, been subject to arrest for producing pornography, and perhaps even be put on a sex offender list. Outraged parents would be calling for the dismissal of the principal as well as other teachers who were involved in the scandal. No doubt the 24 hour news cycle would be all over the story, and Dr. Phil would be knocking on all of their doors.

I think it's a much happier world when society is more accepting of "a bunch of naked kids having fun."

Dirty Dancing

Administrators at Union Grove High School in Wisconsin have imposed new "dancing rules" which have some students threatening to boycott an upcoming formal.

The new rules, announced mid-January, will first apply to the school's all-grade winter formal Jan. 30. For the formal, students and their guests will be videotaped during the dance and they must avoid specific provocative dance moves and wear dressy attire that covers enough..."When dancing back to front, all dancers must remain upright - no sexual bending is allowed," the policy reads. "Examples are, no hands on knees, and no hands on the dance floor with your buttocks touching your dance partner. There will be no touching of the breasts, buttocks or genitals. There will be no straddling of each others' legs."...The Union Grove policy says girls cannot have dresses that "expose cleavage, extend above the mid-thigh, (or) have slits extending above mid-thigh" and boys must wear collared shirts and dress pants.

Students feel that the new rules go "too far", especially with the video taping, which Principal Tom Hermann claims is a "precautionary measure". No specific incidents prompted the new written policy, showing that adult paranoia about teen sexuality knows no bounds.
