I am sure she is a lovely woman, she just needs to quit that job.

Why? So she and her child can live their lives in pious poverty? Either way, the kid is out of school. If the mom quits stripping, she can't afford the school (and probably not much of anything else, for that matter). If she doesn't, the school kicks her kid out. What a sad situation.

I noticed you didn't address my question as to whether you would give a former stripper with little or no skills and little or no education a job over the dozens, if not hundreds, of applicants with skills, education and experience who are now available due to the Clinton recession. Sometimes not giving an answer is an answer in and of itself. If you wouldn't be willing to give this woman a job over any number of qualified, willing applicants without a background in the sex industry, why would you expect someone else to?

So she and her child can live their lives in pious poverty?

No excuse. I was a single parent for 12 years and for much of that time, we did live in virtual poverty. However, my church helped and even chipped in so that my daughter could go to Christian school for awhile. When a child lives with just one parent, that parent has an extra responsbility to live a morally exempliary life. A very special, close relationship often exists between single moms and their children, particularly if they only have one. This is a choice that mother is making and she is the one taking steps to ruin her child's life. So what if she took a job that meant she couldn't go around hiring lawyers? Her daughter deserves a lot better and isn't getting it.

i thought i answered that question, it was certainly not an intentional dodge. yes i would employ her, as i said, if i were the headmaster of the school. Now i am an attorney, i could not hire her to try CASES, but i would do my best to help her get some training of some sort, to get a job that did not require disrobing. GOOD GRIEF, you would swear that the only possible employ out there was stripping. how come i don't KNOW ANY if such is the case???
