The West Chester “Footloose” Ordinance
by Daniel Brouse
#WestChesterFootloose
WEST CHESTER, PA — The Borough of West Chester, Pennsylvania is attempting to pass an ordinance that would outlaw singing, dancing, acting, reading, juggling, magic, mimes and more. Unlike some “busking ordinances”, this ordinance will criminalize these activities for every person.
For instance, if you allow a 5-year-old to color with chalk on the sidewalk without a license, you both will be breaking the law. If you obtain a license to perform music and kids start dancing, they will be breaking the law. If you write music without a license and kids start dancing, you all will be breaking the law. Should you and your friends attend a peace rally or sporting event and sing the “Star Spangled Banner”, you will be breaking the law. If you read the First Amendment, you will be breaking the law. For that matter, if you read the busking ordinance, you will be breaking the law.
There is a public hearing:
Tuesday July 26, 2016 at 6PM
West Chester Borough Hall
401 East Gay Street
