LACEY, Wash. (KCPQ) — Students and their parents had to sign contracts before they could go to homecoming dances at River Ridge and North Thurston high schools in Lacey. When Miley Cyrus took the stage at the Video Music Awards a couple months ago, some parents were shocked by her ‘twerking.’
“It is kind of surprising that that would be considered normal dancing,” Julie Evans, the mother of a 16-year-old girl, said Wednesday. River Ridge High School senior Joely Manning says, ‘You’re in high school. You’re not going to be pulling a Miley Cyrus out there.’
But officials with North Thurston Public Schools know times have changed, and students are used to seeing things like this on a dance floor. “It’s that YouTube generation,” said Courtney Schrieve, a spokeswoman for North Thurston Public Schools. “They have a lot more exposure to a lot of different things, so we have to constantly stay on top of that.”
