I guess the schoool is training the underage girls to be Mormon child brides?

quote:

“She was so excited in the morning when she left,” the girl’s mother, Alicia Hobson, told The Washington Post. “I asked if she got to dance with the boy she liked, and she did and she was happy. But in the same breath she was exasperated because she had to dance with the boy she hates.”

Azlyn tried to politely decline the invitation, but the school’s principal rushed over and told her saying “no” was against school rules, Hobson said.

No means yes in Utah?

I thought "no" meant "no".

What are we setting these kids up for in the future?

“No means yes and yes means anal.”

-That principal, probably.

When “no” doesn’t mean “no.”

Walter Williams called it 'the freedom to disassociate.' He also said 'When I married my wife it was a rejection of every other woman on the planet.'

No means yes and yes means... Well we all know what yes means. Do they have soaking for that?

Eta: just scrolled up to see Beerjeep beat me to it. Of course.

What an excellent lesson to teach to hormone fueled teens.

Horrible policy. So much for being taught that no means no. Assume this means that under circumstances of someone harassing another student, they can force them to dance with them, even if the school has knowledge of a confrontation? Wonder how that works.

I might have physically assaulted the principle over that.

Apparently the school doesn’t adhere to the,” just say no” or “no means no” mantras?
