    With the rise of same-sex couples and single parents, many schools deem the father-daughter dance antiquated.http://nyti.ms/2rtrYGO

        I've seen some go to a "me & my guy" approach so girls can bring a grandfather, uncle, neighbor...

        As same sex father, active member of my boy's PTA it's all good. I've learned my role is parent regardless of the title applied. Just dance.

        Great headline for Father's Day. Maybe we should be asking why so many fathers are absentee - not ruin things for responsible ones

        Why have the dance and create the social pressure in the first place?

        Why not get chaperoned for kids who need one and leave the tradition alone

        Our country is doomed...esp given the likes of you who endorse this. I am a proud dad who loves these dances and champions binary reality.

        Not only those reasons but felt sorry for daughters who didn't have a dad due to death!

        Your thoughts are creepy. This is a tradition between father/daughter and a good one.
