Utah Mom Upset After School Tells 6th-Graders They Can’t Say No When Asked to Dance

“The teacher said she can’t,“ Richard said. “She has to say yes. She has to accept and I said, ‘Excuse me.’”

Richard took her concerns to the school principal.

“He basically just said they’ve had this dance set up this way for a long time and they’ve never had any concern before,” she said of his response.

Lane Findlay with the Weber School District confirms it’s a rule, but he said it’s meant to teach students how to be inclusive.

“Please be respectful, be polite,“ Findlay said. “We want to promote kindness, and so we want you to say yes when someone asks you to dance.”

“I do see it from their perspective when it comes to that, but there are many other ways to teach children how to be accepting than with a social dance,” Richard counters.

Richard believes forcing students not to say no teaches them the wrong lesson.

“Psychologically, my daughter keeps coming to me and saying I can’t say ‘no’ to a boy,“ she said. “That’s the message kids are getting. Sends a bad message to girls that girls have to say ‘yes’; sends a bad message to boys that girls can’t say ‘no,’” Richard said.

Prior to the dance, which is voluntary, students are told to fill out a card by selecting five people they want to dance with. The administration says if there’s someone on the card you feel uncomfortable with, the student is encouraged to speak up.

“If there is an issue, if there’s students that are uncomfortable or have a problem with another student, I mean: that’s certainly something that can be addressed with that student and parents,” Findlay said.

THIS IS RAPE CULTURE.

A BOY’S FEELINGS ARE CONSIDERED MORE IMPORTANT THAN A GIRL’S AUTONOMY.

NOTHING ABOUT THIS TEACHES KINDNESS. IT TEACHES SUBMISSION.

Utah Mom Upset After School Tells 6th-Graders They Can’t Say No When Asked to Dance

You know how kids sometimes say really creepy shit? How would the 2p face react if their child said something really fucking creely? Like chills down your spine kinda creepy

hetaliawhatifs:

2p America: “Annnnd it’s time for bed! Wow, look at how time flies!”
Allen would not deal well with that shit. He has seen his fair share of horror movies and he knows when it is time to “gtfo”. He would quickly try to shoo his kid off to bed and close the door. After the door is closed he would shiver and shake his head before taking a walk outside. He would need to clear his head and remind himself that he can’t call for an exorcism…yet.

2p Canada: “Okay, tone down on the creepy.”
Matt would look at his kid with a straight face before telling them to tone it down. He would tell them that it was borderline creepy and he didn’t want to deal with it. If they tried to continue he would slowly just walk them to their room and close the door. Matt has very low tolerance for the weird and if his kid is doing it to mess around, then they can do it in their room.

2p France: “Stop.”
Francois would just look at his kid and tell them to cut it out. He wouldn’t tolerate it and if they wanted to be weird he would tell them to do it outside or in their room. After a while, he would just ignore his kid so they wouldn’t get a reaction from him.

2p England: “Y-you’re starting to frighten me, poppet…please stop…”
Oliver would be on edge and hesitant to go near his child. He would be genuinely scared and almost trembling as he looks at his child and begs them to go back to normal. He would offer them treats and cupcakes just to see them smile or be cute again…he would be terrified if they ever said anything creepy.
