A Utah mom is upset about a school policy in which sixth grade girls can't say "no" when boys ask them to dance. Should kids be forced to dance?

Without knowing more details, I'm assuming this either has to do with encouraging social interaction (especially in kids who usually don't) or is meant to shield kids from rejection. The first scenario is cruel to those who are introverted. The second is just unrealistic. If this is a class where everyone must participate, then perhaps that is a different story.
