33 High School girls Suspended For Twerking

Dozens of teenage girls from Scripps Ranch High School in San Diego were suspended for making a “twerk team video.”



The school was furious and suspended all 33 students involved, the 32 twerk team members and a 33rd filming, banning them from prom, and not allowing them to walk during commencement

Many of the girls involved and their families are outraged, thinking the school’s decision was too harsh.

They should be suspended for participating in what turned out to be the crappiest video production I have seen in a long time.

I sincerely hope enough parents get together to make them reconsider.

Yeah, it's obscene, so what? They're teenagers, they're supposed to be obscene.

Just think of how tight their buns will still be when they turn 40.

Twerking. You gotta hand it to this generation, that's crazy.

Why didn't we have this when I was in high school? I guess we had grinding.

Ridiculous decision. Like someone above said, rock and roll.

Good exercise ... I bet it burns for the first few days though. Kids do silly things, I think the school over-reacted here.

Everyone got to see teenage girls shaking their butts for dudebro's gratification, and now they can be suspended for expressing their sexuality without dad's consent. Or something.

I'd be PISSED if I were a parent. There asses were covered. Wow. It's a form of dancing and unless I missed something they were dressed.

Always have, I think I always will. Shrug. Some people probably don't like me saying so, but to be honest, I like it.

To suspend these students for this act is foolish. But is par for the course these days. If students were allowed to have a little fun at school, it would be a better environment for all.

Sigh...

How could they even tell one jiggling butt from another? Pervy principal needs to back the fuck up.

The video was created during school hours, on school property, using the school's video equipment.

They'd have a heart attack and die from the vapors. Having looked the videos posted here, I can say that this twerking stuff doesn't look a whole lot different than some of what we did in Zumba class this morning. Good grief. Somebody has a big stick lodged up where the sun don't shine that is sorely in need of removal.
