WEST JORDAN, Utah (AP) — A Utah school district has cancelled a high school play that uses Elvis Presley’s music after a complaint about a sexually suggestive song.
Jordan School District officials in suburban Salt Lake City announced plans Wednesday to scrap Herriman High School’s production of “All Shook Up,” saying it could be offensive.
It was not immediately clear which song prompted the decision.
District spokeswoman Sandy Riesgraf says a person approached the district and complained about the play, which is loosely based on William Shakespeare’s “Twelfth Night.”
Riesgraf says administrators reviewed the script and determined it didn’t meet standards put in place in August after another high school play came under scrutiny.
The Deseret News reports students had already started rehearsing the play, which was scheduled for February. Riesgraf says a replacement will be selected.
Pathetic!!!
1950 called, they want their moral repulsion back.
gimme a break…. is this the 50′s again? lmmfao
Poor Kids, One f’n buttinski got a hair up her *** and now the kids have to start over… this isn’t fair, as a nation we really need to stop catering to the few and start making the many happy…
Not quite as ridiculous as big city liberal mayors banning 16 oz. sodas.
Illinois is banning all guns and giving lawful citizens 2 weeks to turn them in, and this is what you report? ET save us.
Girl go to school half dressed, That’s not sexually suggestive?
But they’ll probably allow Britney, Beiber and GaGa songs..smh
Okay honestly wggb? That headline doesn’t even make sense!!!!!
If I was your boss I would fire the lot of you.
Wow never really saw Elvis music and lyrics as racy.
Yeah he is definitely not as toned down as little wayne. The funny thing is, i graduated from commerce in 1998 and my prom music consisted of “NAS”, Jay-Z, and Big pun. It was very classy.
