**CHICAGO -** in a Move That Has Social Conservatives and Family-Values Watchdogs Calling for a National Day of “Media Repentance,” Derek Hough, the Six-Time Emmy-Winning “Dancing With the Stars” Darling, Has Been Accused of Introducing a “Satanic Seduction Curriculum” Into Mainstream Entertainment.

CHICAGO - In a move that has social conservatives and family-values watchdogs calling for a national day of “media repentance,” Derek Hough, the six-time Emmy-winning “Dancing with the Stars” darling, has been accused of introducing a “Satanic Seduction Curriculum” into mainstream entertainment.

Footage from his latest nationwide tour, Derek Hough: The Awakening, has gone viral—not for the prodigious footwork, but for a segment critics are dubbing “The Eucharist Tango.” In the routine, Hough performs a feverish, eroticized number on a modified altar, culminating in the shattering of a mirrored crucifix.

“This isn’t dance anymore; this is the active eroding of the moral fabric,” declared Dr. Miriam Vance, a cultural ethicist with the Family Integrity Project. “Derek Hough was once the boy next door. Now he is using his platform to normalize sacrilege and raw carnality as ‘self-expression.’ He is literally stomping on every value that holds a civilized society together. Our children are watching their idols desecrate the sacred.”

The backlash has been swift. School boards in three states are now reviewing whether Hough’s past appearances on network television should be scrubbed from arts curricula. Meanwhile, Hough’s team has defended the piece, calling it “a metaphorical exploration of freedom from oppression.”

But for the Moral Critics, the message is clear: When the king of wholesome entertainment falls, so too does the last pillar of decency. America is now one cha-cha slide away from the abyss.
