Beyoncé - "Schoolin' Life"

J.R. Taylor Choreography

Saturday, January 31, 2009

This new viral video shows some young ladies getting their groove on during half-time at a high school game. Seems pretty typical to me, but this little dance led to the disbandment of the group, national news attention and the branding of these perhaps unthinking (yet not unusual) women as "The Sluts of Jonesboro" -- in honor of the high school where they used to be on the now-defunct dance team. I am more upset that innocent if misinformed young women have been labeled sluts for doing a dance, than at the dance itself. But I turn it over to the community:

What do you think of these young women and their dancing? Are they to blame for their actions, are their parents, or is the school administration? Is it really that big of a deal at all? I say no. What say you?
