Those darn Puritans in New York just can’t let anyone have fun, even middle-school students. Can you imagine that people might have considered having strippers as volunteers [2] at a Halloween celebration for Middle School 51 inappropriate? Why, they even volunteered for a task for which they have extensive experience:
The head of New York’s Puppetry Art Theatre uninvited a group of strippers from an upcoming school event in order to avoid any undue controversy.Timothy Young said that he decided to retract the erotic dancers’ invitations to the Haunted Halloween Carnival Benefit due to worries that New York’s Middle School 51 would cancel the annual event, the New York Daily News reported Wednesday. …
The strippers had volunteered to participate in the special holiday event, that includes a costume giveaway and a pizza party.
Costume giveaways? Heck, that’s their specialty! (via Power Line [3])
All I can say is;
Welcome to the People’s Republic of New York.
