So the girl in question wasn't twerking, it was person "friend" in front of her in the video. She was just dancing. I consider myself pretty logical in most things and this doesn't make sense.

The person in question did not commit any offense her self based on how the news article read. If she herself was doing something that did not promote a good image it would be understandable but this was not the case.

Obviously any government action based on "promoting a good image" would violate the First Amendment.
