Hi friends – I was on FOX today talking about the rise of “dirty dancing” in high schools around the country. I’ve written before about this issue in my own community.

My big takeaway? How did “romance” devolve into this? Here’s a clip. Enjoy!

This column came about as a result of me looking for the current science grade of one of my children. What I found was some very interesting material on the teacher’s official school website.

Enjoy.
