WELCOME

To

The Naked in School Program

The Naked in School Program is commonly referred to as The Programf and that term will be used in this pamphlet.

Thank you for volunteering to participate in this Practical Course on the Acceptance and Promotion of All Aspects of Human Sexuality.

The Program has been carefully designed to help you become more comfortable with your body and your sexuality, to treat others in natural balance as both individual people and sexual beings, to learn to harness your natural energies, and to behave in a more mature and morally conscious manner. By becoming more comfortable with your body and sexuality, it is hoped that your sexual tensions will be in general diminished but more focused when appropriate. This is your opportunity for rapid personal growth.

Please familiarize yourself with the Rules of the Program found on the following pages. There will be no written examination; however, compliance with each of the rules is compulsory. Failure to comply will result in penalties as determined by your school administration and/or the local Program officials.

Section A:

Compulsory Nudity

1. For the duration of your time in The Program, you must remain naked in school.

2. That duration shall be started at a time determined by your local school authorities, and must extend exactly 7 calendar days. For example, from a Monday morning to the following Sunday night; from a Friday assembly to the following Friday Assembly. If your participation is deemed unsatisfactory due to absence (whether for illness or truancy), your participation will be extended in one-week increments until satisfactorily completed.

4. School activities shall include but are not limited to:

(a) Sporting Events, whether as spectator or participant
(b) Theater Productions of the Drama Department
(c) Social Events of all kinds
(d) Concerts, Recitals, or Performances by the Music Department.

5. No clothing other than shoes and socks is permitted at any time, nor shall any participant attempt to cover or hide any part of their body with their hands or arms. Participants who continue to attempt to conceal themselves with their hands may have their hands restrained.

6. Participants are required to stay in public areas of the school. All use of changing rooms, washing or toilet facilities and all gym preparation (showering, removal of jewelry, shoes, et cetera for participation in physical education or athletic activities) shall be performed in the facilities provided for the opposite sex. If facilities have already been mixed in the school, the participant is to remain accessible to the opposite sex where possible.

7. The Program does NOT expect participants to risk their health or safety. Appropriate safety equipment may be worn if required under certain circumstances, for example:

(a) Lab Safety Aprons in shop or chemistry classes,
(b) Athletic padding or helmets for contact sports,
(c) Taping for stability, such as ankles,
(d) Back braces while lifting, including weights in gym,
(e) Gloves of appropriate types for rope climbing or laboratory safety,
(f) Menstrual pads or tampons.
(g) Sports-bra, Cups and jockstraps are required for the sports listed below, as appropriate:
1. Basketball
2. Baseball
3. Football
4. Softball
5. Wrestling
6. All other sports will be done naked.

Section B.

Class Participation

1. Participants in the Program will be expected to assist teachers and instructors in the performance of their lesson plans. Participants shall cooperate with their teachers.

2. Because of the educational value of said assistance, teachers and instructors may ask for participation and demonstration beyond that described under Reasonable Requests. Participants may not decline unless the request involves sexual intercourse, the insertion of a foreign object, or would result in physical harm or pose the danger of imminent physical harm to themselves or their classmates.

3. These requirements in no way conflict with the participant's right to wear appropriate safety equipment as described in Compulsory Nudity. Teachers have been instructed to remain cognizant of the welfare of participants. If a participant feels that their health or safety, or that of their classmates is being jeopardized, it is not only their right but also their responsibility to point out that jeopardy to the instructor.

4. Examples of activities, which may require significant active involvement, include, but are in no way limited to:

(a) Posing for art, photography or cinema classes,
(b) Serving as a live training aid for health, biology, physical education or sexual education classes,
Acting as a research subject for Sociology or Psychology classes.

5. Where the participant is involved in a school-related extracurricular activity, as has been previously stated under Compulsory Nudity, the participant shall remain nude. In addition, the director, advisor, or instructor for that activity may request additional activities similar to those above. Activities that are subject to these rules include but are not limited to:

(a) School magazine or newspaper articles and photographs,
(b) Yearbook photographs,
(c) Chess Club, Debating Team, and all similar clubs,
(d) Athletic Teams,
(e) Band and Choir.

Section C.

Reasonable Requests

1. Participants must comply with Reasonable Requests. Participants are to consider themselves on display for any student who expresses a desire to examine the nude form in any way, and must cooperate in that examination, providing only that it does not interfere with class time without the express permission and supervision of the teacher or instructor of a class as described in Class Participation.

2. It is up to the individual Program participant to determine what is reasonable, given the following guidelines:

(a) A student is only required to comply during school hours on school grounds or while engaged in a school activity on or off campus. If a school activity runs to after school hours the student must still participate while 'present for' or 'part of' the activity, providing that it does not interfere with the activity.
(b) The Program Participant is the sole judge of the reasonability of any request that involves physical contact. Any attempts to coerce the participant into physical contact beyond what the participant finds reasonable will result in disciplinary action by the school administration in accordance with the judgment of local Program officials.
(c) Posing and other acts, which entail no touching, are always required to be agreed to if they will not interfere with other school activities.
(d) Participants are strongly encouraged to allow touching for the purposes of education and promoting a sexually aware environment. School administrations may create incentives for students who do so at the judgment of local Program Officials.
(e) No student shall ever be required to insert a foreign object into any bodily orifice as a part of a Reasonable Request or Classroom Activity.
(f) No student is ever required to submit to oral sex or penetration with a sexual organ as a part of a Reasonable Request.
(g) No student is ever required to have his or her freedom of movement restricted as a part of a Reasonable Request.
(h) Students do not have to comply with a request while eating lunch. There is an exception to this if the student takes longer than half the lunch period to eat. Beyond that limit, they must follow Reasonable Requests.

3. Participation in the Program shall not be construed by others as license to abuse the Participant. Attempted sexual assault or any other assault will still be met with the full weight of criminal law.

4. Disagreement over what constitutes a reasonable request shall be referred to the Headmaster, who may in turn refer it to the local Program officials. Participants are advised, however, that frivolous attempts to skirt the intent of the Program may result in detention (which is a school-sponsored time) or in additional week(s) of participation in the Program.

Section D.

Requesting Relief

1. While in no way dangerous or harmful in a medical sense, it is recognized that a sexual tension in either sex or erection in boys can be uncomfortable and distracting from lessons. For this reason, Teachers and Instructors have been advised that it shall be deemed a reasonable request on the part of participants to seek relief during the first five minutes of class time. Teachers and Instructors have been further advised that this event may be abetted by other students or participants or the instructors themselves (if no student is willing), and should be integrated into the educational nature of the Program.

2. Teachers may not force a Participant to take relief, but may, and are in fact encouraged to, inquire if relief is desired or necessary.

3. Considerable leeway is granted to the Participant in the nature of the relief granted, if no coercion is involved and that all participants are willing. No student shall be singled out or otherwise pressured to assist; however, teachers may create general incentives to encourage assistants.

Section E.

Outreach

1. In keeping with the philosophy of the Program, Participants are strongly encouraged to continue their nudity, and hence, their exploration and expansion of personal limits, outside the compulsory boundaries discussed in these rules. To further that encouragement, all laws relating to Indecent Exposure have been repealed by Statutory Instrument for everyone under the age of 21 years within areas where the Program is in operation. For the present, you are safe to assume that this is within thirty miles of your school. You are also protected from liability when you are involved in a school organized or sponsored activity regardless of the distance from your school. However deliberate attempts to cause danger to others by, for example, posing explicitly on bridges above motorways may make you liable under other laws, including Behavior likely to cause a Breach of the Peace.

2. No participant shall be refused service at any establishment for complying with the intent of the Program. However, some establishments may at their choice require you to furnish and place a towel down anywhere you are seated. Merchants have been encouraged to support all aspects of the Program in any way possible.

3. Participants are also strongly encouraged to find ways to extend the benefits of the Program to others.

4. Nude individuals, including fellow students who choose a nude lifestyle, are not subject to the rules of the Program and should not be treated as such.

Section F

Exemptions

1. Local Program officials may make exemptions for students unable to participate in the Program. These exemptions will not be given lightly and will be limited to matters of health, impending relocation, excusable absence, diplomatic status, international treaty, prior participation, and matters to be determined by the National Board.

2. Where possible an exemption will merely result in rescheduling to another date. Students who have previously completed participation may not be selected again against their will. (except as allowed in Section G below). Students who do not qualify for an exemption must complete their week in the Naked in School Program, once selected, in order to complete their studies.

3. If you believe you qualify for an exemption please bring it to the attention of your school's administration in order that the local Program officials may be contacted to review your case and make a decision.

Section G:

Disciplinary Action

1. Failure to comply with the rules of the Program may result in disciplinary action. The exact penalties shall be determined by school administrations. Acceptable forms of punishment are as follows:

(a) Detention may be used in keeping with normal school policy.
(b) Corporal punishment may be delivered to the bare buttocks only.
(c) Students may be 'drafted' into the Program for one day on a summary basis by teachers. School administrations may extend this to a full week or any portion thereof.
(d) If deemed necessary, suspension and even expulsion may be used.

2. Criminal acts by or upon Program students will be dealt with by local law enforcement. Note that sex crimes by or committed upon participants will be dealt with using the utmost severity under the most recent sentencing guidelines.
