Black Woman Does The Splits and Twerks On Stage At Her High School Graduation Ceremony and Then Is Shocked That She Isn't Handed Her Diploma

If the school unofficially says we expect proper decorum. Is that not a rule. It seems we need legislation in everything.

By definition, anything unwritten is not a rule and can't be enforced or necessarily expected to be honored. The school may not like it, but it is what it is. Write it down next time

It was totally inappropriate! It should have just been common sense. Besides, it wasn't dancing it was twerking. She knew exactly what she was doing.

Why not? There were rules against helium balloons. Behavior is often dictated by rules, otherwise we'd have idiots drunk driving all the time or doing all sorts of nonsense.

Sometimes it’s just common sense. Man you’re stupid

So performing a dance move is now equivalent to a lap dance? ok

In a certain way, yes: "neither is explicitly forbidden, so using the argument that it is not forbidden can be applied equally to both and could defend a lap dance."

Can you explain any difference within this narrow understanding?

so the rules need to consider and explicitly state any and all possible situations or else, implicitly, whatever isn't listed is acceptable? When I say "no talking in class" a student can whistle whenever he wants until I append, "or whistling." Then the hand clapping starts. Give a limited rule and wait for people to work around it. Brilliant.

If you are going to try to replace behave yourself with rules then you will have rulebooks that would take all of high school to read. This is just an excuse to get away with atrocious behavior and a complete rejection of any kind of decorum.
