Exclusive sneak peek: 'Toddlers & Tiaras' tyke praised for 'booty pop' moves By Ree Hines
With all the stiff competition in the pageant world, the stars of "Toddlers & Tiaras" have to get creative to stand out in the glitzy mix.
What makes for a memorable tot-routine? In the past, some kids have channeled their inner-adults, such as Dolly Parton or a "Pretty Woman." But on the next episode of the show, one tyke decides to just shake what her mother gave her.
In an exclusive sneak peek, 5-year-old Trinity donned her ruffled, pink-princess finery and proceeded to put on a "booty" routine.
"C'mon, girl! Shake it!" Trinity's mom cheered.
She did. But lest anyone fear the pageant judges might have taken issue with the not-so-kid-friendly choreography, rest assured they did not.
"Trinity's booty pop? I thought was awesome," judge Charlotte Booth insisted. "She was on that stage, and that was her. That was something she would have done at home, (in front of) the mirror. And you could tell she was excited to do it."
See how Trinity fared compared to her competition when "Toddlers & Tiaras" airs Wednesday night at 10 p.m. ET on TLC.
more sex ed. more sex show. more sex videos. more sex sex sex. that cures all.
"While Foreign Terrorists were plotting to murder and maim using homemade bombs in Boston, Democrap officials in Washington DC, Albany and here were busy watching ME and other law abiding American Citizens who are gun owners and taxpayers, in an effort to blame the nation's lack of security on US so that they could have a political scapegoat."
Educators and youth agencies interviewed in Wednesday’s Gazette story appear baffled by the discrepancy, but it seems likely that the Schenectady school district’s reluctance to embrace the no-holds-barred approach to sex education preached by Planned Parenthood vs Albany’s receptiveness to such an approach has at least something to do with it.
Where Planned Parenthood is welcome in Albany schools (as well as its community centers and after-school programs) to teach kids what they need to know about safe sex, the organization is shunned by Schenectady schools. Instead, teachers are forced to use an abstinence-based curriculum that hasn’t been updated in 20 years! The record speaks for itself: The approach is a failure. Middle- and high-schoolers are having sex whether they’re ready to or not, and teaching them next to nothing about how to do so safely (regarding disease or pregnancy) does them a huge disservice.

More funding, more sex education, more money, more Planned Parenthood...That is the answer.
I still don't understand how a parent that conceived and birthed a child has less understanding of sex than a public school state curriculum. But the worshipers of the state do.

Cicero thinks that a 15 year old who births a child, then another child at age 17, will somehow be qualified to instruct those children on the issue of safe sex, when those children reach the age of 15 or 17. If she didn't know how to keep herself from becoming pregnant at 15, how will she teach her kids?
It would be preferable if parents took the lead in sex ed, but many are totally unqualified for the task. Cicero wants to punish their kids for their parents mistakes, by insuring that the kids also lack the necessary information. Sad

Get the stats from the 'government funded schools for the disadvantaged'. There are tons thatare now out of the albany school system. (not part of the albany school system stats)They are girls that are either pregnant, want to get pregnant or already have a kid. Following in their momma's footsteps.
MORE PP is not the answer........it is a mind thought that NOTHING, including MORE SEX ED will ever change. It's a cancer that just keeps spreading.

There are no parents. The state is the parent now, liberals won.

So if a peson touched a hot stove at 15 and a hot stove at 17, you are saying there is no way for that person to teach their children about not touching a hot stove? So based on your brilliant logic, the person would actually teach and encourag their children HOW to get burned by a hot stove.
Sorry, I don't believe it. Parents are capable of trial and error too. It doesn't always have to be state apporved.
SCHENECTADY Sex ed, safety topics at forum Public queries school candidates BY KATHLEEN MOORE Gazette Reporter
Schenectady school board candidates took on sex ed, police in schools and unions in their meetthe-candidates forum Thursday. It was sponsored by the League of Women Voters and drew a large crowd, who wrote questions on several pressing issues, including teen pregnancy. Andrew Chestnut, the only sitting board member running in this year’s election, said he is strongly committed to a better sex education program. Currently the district teaches abstinence only, and touches on the topic only twice in the students’ school career. “The curriculum is outdated,” he said. He gave up chairmanship of the audit committee to co-chair the policy committee mainly to attack that issue, he said. The policy committee asked experts to write a new curriculum, which he said would be submitted in two weeks and would include Planned Parenthood instructors. Candidate John Foley said he also wants students given information to “make good decisions.” “I don’t think children should be having children,” he said. Candidate Daniel Garrow agreed, saying the city’s rising teen pregnancy rate is particularly disturbing since Albany’s rate is going down. “We’re obviously doing something wrong,” he said. “I want to figure out an alternative.” Candidate Barbara Metcalfe offered a different viewpoint. “As a school district, we can’t solve every problem,” she said. “But what are we doing about the mothers? How can we help them?” She suggested free child care during school. .......................>>>>......................>>>>.............................................http://www.dailygazette.net/De.....r01302&AppName=1

There's more of that free money that's flying all over Schenectady, the Mayor should get right over there and get his share of all that free money before it's all gone.

I believe this is why Ms. Metcalfe has run several times and was never elected.
