Dirty Dancing

I can’t believe what I just heard happened in my home state of North Carolina.

A 64-year-old woman has been awarded $275,000 after her town banned her from its weekly community dances. Rebecca Willis danced in short skirts, “simulating sexual intercourse with her partner, who hunched on the floor,” lawyers for the town of Marshall had alleged.

This week the town decided to settle her lawsuit, saying it had infringed upon her freedom of expression.

I wonder if Rebecca’s going to split that money with her dancing partner.
