Kindergartener's stripper-mom in church-school flap

[Hemingway's Ghost]

he wonders if mom isn't banking on Hefner, Flynt, Guccione getting interested and maybe she will have her daughter's COLLEGE education paid for.

I don't think that song's very far from wrong. Maybe Christina didn't count on it, but I'm sure such has crossed her mind, and I don't think one has to be too cynical to imagine Christina thought perhaps some of the fallout from "going to the TV news" might be a nice pictoral contract.

Flynt? No; she doesn't seem to be his type (total trailer trash, "Beaver Hunt" rubbish).
Guccione? No; Penthouse is going out of business.
Hef? DING DING DING DING DING! Christina Silvas' story is right up Playboy's alley. They've done photoshoots of cops, ex-Navy pilots (WOOOOOOOOOO BAS), etc.

[NeoCaveman]

Interesting theory, and it could be possible.

[Darkshadow]

I suppose you've never seen kids in a schoolyard on a feeding frenzy, pecking the hell out of the kid with the scandalous secret that just got out? I suppose you think kids won't gather around to hurl insults about what her mom does for a living at her?

And if there aren't scandalous secrets, the kids will just make them up. So what really changes?

[glory]

Agreed..my guess is any paltry salary plus tuition they could offer her does not even come close to what she is earning at the local strip joint PART TIME. It's interesting the word is hypocrit is getting thrown around by the usual Christian bashers on this site. I would think it terribly hypocritical of this school to overlook this mother's CONTINUED transgression and opposition to the school's values while they advertise to other families as a place for Christian virtue and values. It would be much like the Boy Scouts taking an oath to be morally straight while allowing gay scoutmasters in thier midst.

[glory]

That's what gets me about this whole thing. I am a big fan of homeschooling and private school, but I dare say neither works with a poor parent figure at home. The child would be much more blessed to be in public school with a mother whose job does not conflict with the way she is trying to raise her. Hell, my guess is the mother probably would even qualify in the same private schools for assistance with another lower paying job so the daughter could go there AND have a mother that is upholding what the school teaches her. I dare say that someday, if this child continued in the Christian school, she might STILL be resentful of what she saw as Christians for being hypocrits to overlook the sins of her mother while teaching her that immorality is wrong. Seems to me this child is doomed any way you look at it unless her mother cleans up her act!

Someone once said 'suffer little children to come unto me, and forbid them not

Yoohoo...mom is forbiding her from fully coming to Christ with her profession..or does this little tidbit not apply to her as well?

[SCalGal]

She's got an awful lot of time to spend with her child, only working 3 nights a week.

She puts the kid in daycare, she'll get bashed for doing that... The woman is in a no win situation.

[glory]

Perhaps it was free tuition for the last month and she was welcome to apply for a scholarship for the school during the summer once she had resigned her position. I'm guessing we don't know the full story and the free tuition offer was so that the child could finish out the year at which point the mother could then formally apply for finincial aid which have the nice little affect of revealing her current employer so the school could be assured she is no longer working in that business. I am curious OPH, do you not find it the least bit hypocritical if this school KNEW what the mother did and accepted money indirectly from that profession, keeping in mind the strict value code of the school? To me it would make them look all about $$ if they allowed that. I've known a pastor who only cared about the $$ and the school suffered. This school deserves to have enrollment skyrocket for standing by thier principles, although I do agree, they should have waited for the year to end.

[glory]

You know it's pretty sad that we immediately think that the folks who reported her are either jealous overweight housewives or men who patron the establishment. It couldn't be that people who happen to send thier children to an institution with established principles that they in fact stand by those principles? Didn't at least one of you say you were Christian? How is that for "gossip hounds" again? Apparently it wasn't a false rumor going around that mom stripped, but certainly you are guilty of gossip mongering by speculating as to the intentions of those reporting her. Hypocrits indeed...

[glory]

Hmmm, so avowed homosexuals who put thier children in this school should not be scrutinized? After all that's legal as well, but undermines what is being taught at the school.

[Lord_Baltar]

Yeah, it's much better on the kid to have a judgemental schmuck as a parent, AND be in public school, AND be poor as the proverbial church mouse, than to have a Mother whose willing to work to see to it that her daughter has the chance at a better life than the mother had.

Oh yeah, you are so right. This Woman should be taken to the town square and relaxed as the unrepentant heathen slut she is...

[Wondervixen]

Another good point to examplify the cruelty kids can heap on one another. Adult civility is years away from being instilled into them and hitting below the belt, whether on truth or a made up lie, kids will go as far as their parents are willing to let them. On school grounds, away from home, they KNOW the leash is off and they'll push that envelope as hard and far as the teachers will let them...Thats pretty far when the teachers are popping Advil in the staff lounge with their coffee just to get through the day.

Ahhh, but thats the garden the NEA, Athiests, and ACLU cultivated for them. They're no longer schools but mini prisons and war zones.

[PuNcH]

Some of us have been there and we didn't strip to make ends meet. Some of you talk like they'd be out on the street otherwise. I wonder what car she drives.

By out on the street you must be referring to the public school system. Honestly what is more damaging to our country, the public schools or nude dancing?

I wonder what car everyone drives. What could conservatives be doing to take control of their childrens education. It is pretty hard to maintain this country when most people surrender monkey their children to an institution that teaches that true communism has never been tried and our constitution was written so long ago it is really out of date now.

[PuNcH]

The child would be much more blessed to be in public school with a mother whose job does not conflict with the way she is trying to raise her.

LOL! Well thats not too contrived and contradictory. Now the public school will be "raising" the daughter against the values that either the mother or the private school would want.

It is so nice that the self-righteous are always around to help.

[PuNcH]

Ahhh, but thats the garden the NEA, Athiests, and ACLU cultivated for them. They're no longer schools but mini prisons and war zones.

Well that sounds pretty bad and all but when it comes to nude dancing its time to put the foot down.

[NEWwoman]

Great quotes! Pithy and so true!

[Hacksaw]

Ah why? Sure, I can sit there and beat around the bush about the Hard Liners and their Taliban like views, but Why?

Because it is as intellectually as honest as calling someone a Nazi if he disagrees with you.

Burkas for Everyone!

If you want to wear one, that is fine with me.

[savedbygrace]

Ah, I can see that if I had been writing to you, I wouldn't need to waste time with subtleties.

[Lord_Baltar]

Or as Intellectually honest as calling a Single Mother trying to do the best she can for her child, a Slut, and punishing the child?

Quiet, junior. Your rhetorical skills aren't nearly what you think they are, and you're missing the experience and common sense that can fill in many a picture.

Can you be more specific as to what rhetorical skills I think I have that I don't, how you know that, what is my experience level, and what does it need to be to correctly analyze the situation, and do the same for common sense.

This idiocy is clearly an attempt to keep from addressing the real issue. It's starts with a half-ass personal attack, and then attempts to paint a picture of me -- a picture no one here (especially anyone here who knows me or has gone up against me) will buy -- in order to justify not answering my point. Sorry. This tactic is way to old for me to miss.

My scenario is consistent with my experience

Oh, I see. You have experience being a hypocrite. Is that what you are saying? If not, please clarify.

and the Bee article

Which didn't even come close to hinting what you said.

Your's is consistent with straw grasping.

Huh? First of all, I didn't present it as fact, like you did yours. Second, straight up scenarios, you are the one grasping at straws. Finally, you didn't respond to my last sentence -- reread it (if you haven't already ran and hid, as I think you probably have), since it completely covers everything you said.
