Chinese Principal in Kindergarten School Loses Job For Hiring Pole Dancer to Welcome Students and Parents

Chinese kindergarten principal of a Chinese school principal was fired after hiring a pole dancer to perform on the opening day of classes. Principal Lai Rong of Xinshahui kidergarten in Bao'an district of Shenzhen thought that the idea of bringing half-naked woman dancing on a pole to welcome the children and their families is a good idea. Well, it turned out she was wrong because parents criticized the principal severely anf asking for her removal report at abc.net.au.

Education authorities has made the announcement after a video went viral online showing a pole dancers are performing next to a flagpole bearing China's national flag on the playground of the school, as part of the opening of classes.

So before our kids got out of kindergarten for the summer, there was 10 days of military "activities" and displays of machine guns and mortars at the door; now the principal has welcomed them back with a strip pole dance on the flagpole bearing the PRC flag. She's gone nuts. pic.twitter.com/BJr4UI6Oq3

Who would think this is a good idea? We're trying to pull the kids out of the school and get our tuition back. They wouldn't give us the number of the company that owns the school, but looking into that. pic.twitter.com/vEdIhuq774

The principal hung up on my wife when she called after saying it was "international and good exercise" ... okay, yeah for adults maybe, but not 3-6 year old kids. pic.twitter.com/OAw8S5ihzX

There are 500 children aged three to six year-old and hundreds of parents were present on the opening of classes. 

After the video went viral, the school and its principal soon faced a backlash online as parents demanded of answers. Then Lai Rong issued an apology to the parents saying thought, "inviting professional dancers to the kindergaten to perform for the parents would liven up the mood. I did not think through the contents of the performance... It was a very terrible experience for the kids and the parents. For that, I sincerely apologize."
