Cool.

So when Dean Kaufert, the new mayor of Neenah, Wisconsin, started making news yesterday over his proposal to ban dancing in that town that I’ve never heard of, it wasn’t out of the realm of possibility that he could have been yet another seriously insane old doofus trying to ruin the fun for everyone.

Instead, it turns out that he’s a pretty cool dude just trying to rile up some viral support for the teens of Neenah High School. Residents have seen signs like the one above popping up all over town, and today Kaufert issued his “ban” in support of the school’s upcoming performance of Footloose.
