You mean Calgarian schools, not all Canadian schools be quite that bad.
What amuses me about that, is that Calgary is neocon central. They shouldn’t have those kind of bureaucrats there, should they, then…
Homeschool and avoid all such problems!

What the Steven Segal is attempting to do is the lezginka, the traditional dance of the Caucasus Mountains peoples (the notorious Chechens, Circassians, Ingush, Azeris, et al). It is primarily the male display dance, in which the female partner glides around the floor with short steps, while the man dances vigorously, athletically, energetically, and enthusiastically so as to gain the admirations of the spectators.
The youtube search of the word lezginka will turn up many good versions that worth the watching.

Segal’s dance provides a vivid reminder that Homo sapiens sapiens is closely related to Gorilla gorilla.
