Exotic Dancing 101
Let's hear it for the progressive school system found in Fresno.
William Fried told eighth-graders at Jane Lathrop Stanford Middle School that stripping and exotic dancing could be lucrative career moves for girls, offering as much as $250,000 or more per year, depending on their bust size.
"The truth of the matter is you can earn a tremendous amount of money as an exotic dancer, if that's your desire."
Fried spent about a minute defining strippers and exotic dancers synonymously. He told students, "For every two inches up there, you should get another $50,000 on your salary," student Jason Garcia, 14, said.
One mother was outraged when her son announced that he was forgoing college for a career in a field he truly loves - fishing - and said she found Fried's handout even more disconcerting. The handout encourages exotic dancing, stripping and acting as a spiritual medium as career choices.
"He really focused on finding what you really love to do," said Mariah Cannon, 13. Cannon also said she wouldn't want exotic dancing taken off Fried's list. Although parents might find it hard to hear, it's a legitimate career choice, she said.
If you teach them, they will learn.
