I swear the rest of the western world must laugh at America's hang ups with nudity everyday of the week. In France, President Nicolas Sarkozy's wife Carla Bruni has modeled in the nude. Only right wing extremists there tried to make an issue of it. The average French citizen didn't care. They care more if he is a good president.
Yet, here in America, a 20 year old cheerleading coach is fired because she tastefully posed nude for Playboy (which is a legal activity). And don't get my started on Janet Jackson's nipplegate.
Here's the story:
"Scorned Cheerleaders Rat Out Heroic Playboy Model
It's the story you've heard a million times before: Girls cut from cheerleading squad get revenge on coach by exposing her Playboy modeling activities to school, thus getting her fired...
What apparently uncovered the coach was when some girls didn't make the cheerleading squad because they had a few unexcused absences from school. Their parents then made copies of Christine and dropped the pictures on the principal's desk. Christine was then fired from her position at Casa Robles High School.
"And I was in shock that I knew the girls had seen it and knew about it," a parent told CBS13...

For a different take on this story, read this:
"Protesters Support Naked Coach
ORANGEVALE, CA - Carrying signs and chanting, "We want Carlie back!" We want Carlie back," five freshmen protested after classes let out at Orangevale's Casa Roble High School.
The girls who made the cheerleading squad said they support former cheerleading coach Carlie Beck. Administrators fired Beck when they learned she had posed nude for Playboy online...
Cheerleader Maisie Tyree said Beck "was nothing but nice to every single girl. She was nice to the girl that couldn't try out and it was totally wrong what her parents did. It was the only card they could pull..."
The girls said they didn't see anything wrong with Beck's pictures. They also said they had their parents' permission to demonstrate after school.
But Heather Giniella, the parent who told administrators about Beck, said she was outraged when she learned about Beck's pictures. Her daughter was barred from cheerleading tryouts...
Beck told school officials about her modeling. She said the situation has been difficult of her."

If I was the parent, I would be more concerned about my kids unexcused absences from classes, which appears to be why she was barred from being a cheerleader. Back in my day of both high school and college (Univ of Illinois), unexcused absences from classes did get kids kicked off of sports teams.
I would have also used this as a teaching opportunity for my kids. I would tell them that in the USA we have many personal freedoms. Some people chose to practice these freedoms by modeling nude. She could then say why she disagreed with Carlie Beckers choice of modeling for Playboy, but then back Americans rights to freedom of speech.
Sadly because of people like the school administrators and spoiled kids and parents, people are terrified of telling their friends that they love nude vacations and recreation, let alone posing for Playboy. I would bet the #1 occupation of our guests is education. And all of our teachers are TERRIFIED because of closed minded (or is it clothes minded) bigots.
True the US is making small steps to accepting nudity, for instance a number of years ago I was elected the President of the Palm Springs Chamber of Commerce and I was the campaign treasurer for one of our city council members. My owning a successful nudist resort was actually a plus as people saw me as a successful entrepreneur.
And for those people who say it is immoral for Carlie Christine Beck to appear nude, at the turn of the century it was considered immoral for women to show a bare ankle, let alone bare legs or arms. And in the Middle East they still think bare ankles are immoral. Should we turn back the clock 100 years just because some people are so insecure with themselves and their own bodies?
And for the record, both Mary Clare and I have appeared nude on Playboy TV. They are a great company to work with.
So this year, make it the year you try a fun vacation. Stay at our resort, The Terra Cotta Inn clothing optional resort and spa. We are the most mainstream nudist resort in America and perfect for couples trying topless or nude sunbathing for the first time.
