Faux News again. Parent-child activities including dances are not banned, what changed is they are no longer restricted to opposite-sex pairs.
Read the link, it was from The Providence Journal, not Fox News (which, btw, is fair and balanced).
As I read it the R.I. state law IS banning (thanks edvard) Father Daughter dances.

I did read the link, it's Faux even though it isn't Fox. There is no ban against parent-child activities, including parent-child dances. And, since you insist on calling this tribal (Liberal vs Conservative), if "Conservatives" had their way there would be a ban on teaching science. I happen to know a widow in Rhode Island, and she has two young daughters; the "father-daughter" restriction would have banned her from taking them to the dance, but now she will be allowed.

Father-Daughter and Mother-Son dances baned. Its only fair, after all how would Sally feel if she has two Mothers but no father? Who would she dance with??
The same would apply to Billy who had two Fathers but no mother. Who would he dance with??
Logical conclusion? Ban all dances of that type for everyone...after all, we wouldn't want one (one) liberal to feel slighted in any way, would we?
