Letter defending school dances against critic Rev Badgett
A Shafter reader defends dancing as a youth activity and counters Rev Badgett's stance. The writer cites personal experience with family dances, argues moderation matters, and supports school dances as a safe, supervised pastime versus illicit street activity. The letter urges tolerance and democratic cooperation among denominations in guiding youth behavior.
