Speaker To 8th Graders: Stripping Is A Lucrative Career

Palo Alto school officials reconsider if it was wise to use a certain popular speaker. At an annual career day William Fried, president of Foster City's Precision Selling, a management consulting firm, advised middle school students that they could earn a good living as strip dancers.

William Fried told eighth-graders at Jane Lathrop Stanford Middle School that stripping and exotic dancing could be lucrative career moves for girls, offering as much as $250,000 or more per year, depending on their bust size.

But on Tuesday, some students asked Fried to expand on why he included "exotic dancing" on the list.

Fried spent about a minute answering questions, defining strippers and exotic dancers synonymously. He told students, "For every two inches up there, you should get another $50,000 on your salary," student Jason Garcia, 14, said.

Is it any wonder more parents are sending their kids to private shcools? This idiot shouldn't even be allowed in a middle school let alone lecture students. The schools are not there to teach exotic dancing, or how to increase their bust size.
