Please don't tell me that Hillary is going to take up peeling for a living!

That shouldn't be difficult in Northern California.
Yeah, amorality is so tough to find in SoCal.

There is a similar story in Kansas City this week. A young woman with a child in a private Christian school was discovered to be employed in a strip club and her child was expelled from the school. I still fail to see what this has to do with the child.
Out Christian school is expanding to add an extra grade and we are looking to increase enrollment. At a Board Meeting, we were going down the list of children that were graduating from another private elementary school to see which children may attend our Christian middle school.
When one child's name came up, someone said that she would not be a candidate because "her parents are hard core atheists". I pointed out that such a child is precisely the child that a Christian school may want to go out of it's way to recruit.
The school is there for the children. Not the parents. The children.

Wait a minute. She's paying 400 bucks a month to put her kid in KINDERGARTEN? I have never seen the kindergarten class worth 100 bucks a week. That's not a bad price for 1 through 8, but kindergarten? Kids don't learn much at all in kindergarten. Not only is she a skank, she's a spendthrift. (And that school's got a real nice racket.)
To: Polybius
The problem is that anything YOU do is going to be completely undermined by the parents, and it will cause division within the school in the meantime.

Members are not supposed to dance, drink or smoke; So was it the nudity or the dancing that got her in hot water :)
Personally, I don't dance, but any church that bans drinking and smoking sure as hell ain't getting my dollar in their collection plate on Sunday.
To: Jeff Chandler
I wonder if she'll be attending the end of the year pool party with the other parents? (She'll probably feel overdressed)

Yeah, amorality is so tough to find in SoCal.Of course it's there too, but the San Francisco area has raised it to an art form.
To: Hamilton2
Kudos to the pastor who attempted to work this out in a compassionate way with this woman. Ditto-- hope the rest of the congregation handles the damage control with finesse. The female members are probably just as happy not to have her in the fold, but the men could be kicking themselves already. ;-)
To: Polybius
You make a good point about ministering to the child, and I'm sure that's the way many, if not most religious schools view things.
The problem with this story is that this school decided upon certain rules and were completely upfront with them. If you don't like the school's rules, go somewhere else (as the woman is doing) and don't try to impose your morality (or immorality) upon the school. I wouldn't qualify for enrolling my kids, and I'm not the least offended by that fact. To each his own.

I'll bring the sunscreen!

Note to O'Reilly: "Ms. Silvas is an EXHIBITIONIST. She cast her net for bigger fish-- and you took the bait."You win the prize for most perceptive.

Silvas said her daughter will not be returning to the school to attend first grade. As I say, as an atheist, I am always happy when the church manages to drive someone away. Hooray.

Where do Missionaries go to preach the Gospel? To the First Baptist Church or to some a country full of atheists and non-Christians?
If the parents are that anti-Christian as to undermine all our teachings, they would not consider enrolling the child in our Christian school in the first place.
This mother may be a "do as I say and not as I do" type of parent. That is not ideal as a child should be taught by example. However, if the parent is willing to give her child a Christian education, the child should be given that opportunity.
I cannot imagine Jesus turning a child away for the sins of the parent.

But Silvas said her daughter will not be returning to the school to attend first grade.Frankly, even though I don't approve a mom stripping, I don't blame her. A church that tries to tell you what to do in your own home or on your own time is unacceptable. This is exactly the reason my family homechurch.

LOL!!!
and who says chivalry is dead.......

To: Jeff Chandler; sabertooth
O'Reilly suggested that Silvas might've gone out of the area, possibly to SF, to keep her job confidential. He forgot that she was caught NUDE on the INTERNET.
What I can't figure out, is why TV and movies are discouraged, but not gossip and INTERNET, too. Someone else in the congregation needs the pastor's attention, too.
