South Carolina Teacher Creates ‘Gentleman’s Club’ to Teach Young Students How to Be Gentlemen
Breitbart ^ | 26 Feb 2016 | TRENT BAKER

A South Carolina elementary teacher is working to help his young students learn how to act like gentlemen, according to a report by WSMV.

Raymond Nelson of Memminger Elementary in Downtown Charleston hosts 60 kids every Wednesday at the Gentleman’s Club, where the children are taught how to dress and act like gentlemen.

He works with children who are at-risk children and came up with this idea to help the children.

“I was thinking maybe if I have the boys dress for success,” said Nelson. “When was the last time you saw someone fighting in a tuxedo?”

The club’s motto is “Look good, feel good, do good.”

The children meet with Nelson each Wednesday decked out in their best clothes. Nelson even provides some jackets, ties and vests for the children who do not have some of their own.

Sounds like a great idea. Teach them also how to be warriors so they will then how to be in times of war as well as peace.

No, no, no. You can’t do that. It is sexist.

How about a school to teach girls how to be ladies?

“When was the last time you saw someone fighting in a tuxedo?”

Every time I see an older James Bond movie?

What a great idea. In NYC’s ghetto schools, I am treated to seeing male black students’ bony rear ends sheathed in silk underwear that fits like a second skin, their pants sagging completely below their buttocks. Just so wonderful to see. Only eclipsed by having to listen to conversations on the lowest level from males and females, every other word being “nigga” and “f____”.

Imagine that! Manners and etiquette in this day and age. Expect the SJW crowd to show up and shout this down in favor of the cult of ignorance gangsta thug culture.

I see this in the people around me every day.

You think they will have laptop dancing like in Texas and Florida?

I bet she got the idea from The Scores Gentlemen's Club chain.

What a nice idea. I think being dressed in a tidy way improves everything about a person, including his or her disposition and behavior.

Brilliant.

I've mentioned several times to Mrs WBill that the local community college needs a "Business Etiquette 101" class. How to interview, do a resume, have a business lunch, etc.

Rule 1, dress appropriately. No flip flops, cutoffs, or tube tops.

Rule 2, turn your cellphone off. Facebook can wait for 45 minutes.

Etc.

Does this poor S O B know what kind of grief, he is opening himself to?
When the militant feminist, racial maybe even the LBGT communities get wind of this, his life will be not be worth living.

This used to be taught by fathers. Unfortunately, one night stand sperm donors far outnumber fathers these days.
