No sweet moves in Sugar City?

Maybe Sugar City will ban twerking next.

That’s the thought I had as I loaded the image of Sunday’s dumb law into the Idaho Freedom Foundation’s social media accounts. Sugar City, a tiny town in the frozen tundra of eastern Idaho, actually has a line of city code that outlaws certain dances, including the tango and the Texas tommy—whatever that is.

Of course, Sugar City, my hometown, isn’t going to ban the dance—is that what we’re calling it?— Miley Cyrus made famous anytime soon. In fact, the code banning dances is arcane and probably not enforced.

But, that the code exists reveals a larger problem: Silly and arcane laws remain on the books for years, even though they’re unimportant, not relevant or, worse, harmful. More here. Dustin Hurst, Idaho Reporter

Are you a good dancer?
