"I know there is a commandment not to covet, but I don't know of one not to look and enjoy the view. Besides, it was Eve's rebellion - we ladies have always enjoyed a good time. :)"

Well I agree the view was created to be enjoyed. But it's the context, Chippendales puts the view into a sexual context that is not appropriate in the (privately owned) public forum.

Eve did start it, but Adam followed.

"by your standards, I doubt many people are."

Well there is nothing wrong with having high standards even if you don't always obtain them yourself. I think there are a lot of people who are better qualified than these women to teach kids, and I do want the best, most morally upright teachers that are available.

What, exactly, are you afraid these women are going to do in their classroom?

who decides what's appropriate? it's appropriate for those who choose to go. and like I said before, the context in Chippendale's REALLY isn't that sexual. It's like mock sexual, which really just leads to women laughing and having fun.

Eve did start it, but Adam followed.

hey, what fun is the Garden of Eden without Eve?? :)

other than this one event, how much do you know about their qualifications to teach? Do you know their students grades, test scores, abilities, attitudes, morale, ambition, etc? No? Then how can you begin to speak about how qualified they are? Schools need MORE good teachers - if these are otherwise good teachers, getting rid of them doesn't do children a service, it hurts them. A stupid show doesn't hurt them, but removing teachers from schools sure does.

"Women make both the manners and the morals of a people. Neither rises higher than the gauge which women set in a community.... Where a woman has bad manners, it always has in it an element of vulgarity which is more painful than it could be in a man. The result will be a society hopelessly vulgarized...with no end but to sink in an ever deeper abyss of vulgarity." -- Thomas Nelson Page, 1911
