ABC News' Nichole Smith reports:
A video, which has since been removed from YouTube by the user, showed a group of students from Scripps Ranch High School dancing. Mostly female students in tops and leggings were shown twerking in the school yard, twerking with each other and even twerking upside down.
"So many people are suspended in my 6th period class. Its [sic] only me, three girls and about 10 guys, " a student with the Twitter handle @BrielleClaire tweeted Wednesday.
Students also may face being banned from prom, commencement and other school activities as part of the overall suspension, ABC 10 also reported.
Jack Brandais, a San Diego Unified School District spokesman, would not comment on the suspension, citing the federal Family Educational Rights Privacy Act.
However, the school's guidelines for school dances says students are prohibited from any "dance moves that may be considered sexually provocative or simulate sexual activity, i.e., grinding, freaking, dirty dancing."
Perhaps "twerking" should be added to the list.
