It's not about the 1950's. It's about a standard of respect of decency. I had to go to these dances when I was teaching and they do cross a lot of lines. Every girl deserves to feel like a princess and every boy deserves the opportunity to dance with a princess. That's the point of these dances. To expose children to finer things. To make them wear a big dress and a tux. It's almost a crash course in finishing school: Showing them a proper date, opening doors, nice restaurant, These are critical in showing a girl what to expect from a gentleman.
Is it 1950's thinking to expect out young men to be gentlemen? And our young girls to be ladies? Why don't they deserve to be exposed to this treatment?
