So, I sit here reading the front page of today’s paper about Lehighton’s homecoming dance and how students feel their rights are being taken away, and about the music. Well let me say, as a parent of a 15-year-old freshman, I found it horrible and sick to my stomach when she came home along with friends and they told me how there was a big circle on the dance floor and students were all grinding up on each other! And vulgar words from the music were NOT bleeped out.

Boys and girls making out in front of all the students. I mean really! I was so mad I could have spit fire! Adults don’t even act like that at a party. Barrooms that hire DJs bleep out the vulgar gestures. But kids in high school think it’s OK because they’re more mature? OK! I think not. This is exactly why kids are the way they are today! Years ago schools never would have allowed such behavior. I’m very embarrassed Lehighton school let this happen. There are kids out there that have morals!
