Television news rooms are charged with the task of making the nightly news compelling.  Be local.  Be timely.  Dwell on the controversial.  The perfect  ingredients for a headline story about the confrontation that is a big part of back to school again this year:  FREAK DANCING.    Although the face-off between administrators and students regarding dance behavior at school dances has been an on-going issue for the past several years, the cameras and talking heads are back at it, making "grinding" a big back-to-school news item.  After all,  if there is no teachers strike,  what back to school stories  are there that have the magic ingredient of  controversy. 

So news flash:   The headlines will roll once again with the stories of "grinding" at school dances that will inflame a whole new crop of students, and infuriate their respective parents....leaving the administrator in the middle to arbitrate and make homecoming  a "respectable" school social event.  Without the big fuss would the tension ease and the problem slowly diminish.  Who knows.  I do know it doesn't help.  Details at 11.
