Well this sends a hell of a message to girls

WTH was this school thinking?

A school catches flak for telling girls they can't say no if a boy asks them to dance

Sometimes the best of intentions have unintended consequences.

Kanesville Elementary School in Ogden, Utah, holds a sixth-grade dance on Valentine's Day each year. The dance is intended to promote inclusion and kindness, and students have traditionally been told by their teachers to say yes when a classmate asks them to dance.
But times have changed, and some parents were angry when they got wind of the dance's protocol this year.

Natalie Richard was shocked when her sixth-grade daughter told her she couldn't refuse a dance with a boy at the upcoming dance.

2. I mean . . sure, I get the point of inclusion, hell, as nerdy little twerp in the 6th grade,

I would've liked this policy.

But, as a rational adult, I think teaching girls that saying no to boys is not permitted is just a tad on the . . . insane side.

4. Giving someone access to your body when you don't want to is not "inclusion."
