(4,751 posts)see if there is some basic concept that we can use other than (as your response points out) "since I think it is wrong it should be banned".
You are saying that you think twereking is sexually related dancing. You then say that since it is sexual related dancing and could make a student uncomfortable that it is appropriate to 1) ban twerking and 2) if the students still twerk, to ban daces all together. You say this is because some student may feel uncomfortable of be bullied for feeling this way.
Do you not see (and all you have to do is look at history) that some other people find two people slow dancing less than 2 inches apart, or even dancing at all, to be sexually related dancing? Do you not see that they could feel just as uncomfortable as the student exposed to twerking, do you not see how they could be bullied for those feelings?
You may say that is absurd, but who are you to judge their uncomfortable feelings?
So, I ask again, do we structure our society to avoid the uncomfortable feelings of others? I think not.
