Education bosses have been bombarded with complaints from teachers after inviting a pole-dancer to perform for school children.
The pole-dancers were invited to give demonstrations as part of a 'Be Healthy' initiative at South Devon College in Paignton.
But after 1,000 pupils aged 14-19 watched the demo the complaints started to roll in - from teachers who hadn't seen the act - claiming it was inappropriate and indecent.
Isn't it odd that the complaints are coming from teachers rather than the 14-year-old boys?
Dancer Sam Remmer - who teaches pole dancing as fitness classes - said on her blog: "On querying the nature of the complaints I was told that most of the complaints had come from members of staff who had not actually seen our displays but had just assumed that they were inappropriate for their students.
"I was annoyed to think that mainstream pop group such as the pussycat dolls seem to promote inappropriate behaviour far more than my pole dancing classes.
"If anything my classes empower women and therefore encourage them to be in control of their bodies."
