Why is square dancing no longer being taught in schools and why are licensed square dance callers not allowed to teach in public schools?

Probably because square dancing is probably the worst dance ever made. I remember having to learn it myself when I was in grade school. To tell you the truth, if you look into why square dance was taught in the first place, you will see that square dance was taught as part of a nation wide Anglo-Centric ciriculum that lasted into the early 90's. As you can see, school ciriculums have evolved greatly since the early 90's in order to take into account the cultrual diversity of our nation. Even school books have been revised. I remember being taught a US history that was painted so beautifully. Now, textbooks teach the real history, a history that shows the beautiful as well as the ugly. When dance is taught at schools, hip-hop, jazz, tap and many many more considered rather than a bland square dance. Most dance teachers now have several types of dances under their belt not just one. So as for your square dance, consider it lost only to be seen in country bars and redneck weddings.
Rebuttal to the above answer: Square dancing was never in country bars, you must be confusing it with a Bug's Bunny cartoon. This persistent stigma that SD-ing is all rednecks or drunks is one of the notions people that actually dance work hard to overcome. They never drink alcohol at a square dance, it's a family activity.
Square dancing that was taught previously in schools by teachers was as like square dancing as McDonald's is to real food, and thus turned many children off to the activity forever as evidenced by the above answer.
Gym teachers have no real square dance knowledge because their instructors had no real square dance instruction.
It is practiced all over the world and enjoyed by people in all professions - dentists, doctors, computer technicians, engineers. There are several levels of square dancing Basic, Mainstream, Plus and on to Advanced and Challenge.
Schools have shunned it ever since. It needs to be reintroduced as a wonderful social activity - something in short supply these days due to too much electronic distraction.
I dare you to Google - Super Trooper Square Dance and watch the video called by Anna Johansson on you tube.
