Call for accountability for those who covered it up
Call for accountability for those who didn’t do their job.
Make sure it doesn’t happen again.

Where can we learn more?
You can click on these two links to articles in World Net Daily for a clear and concise summary of what happened in Asheville on Sunday, August 21, 2011...
If 6 year old kissing a classmate on the cheek can be suspended from school as a sex offender – how is it OK for a group of adult women and men to stand on a public fountain and do a sexually charged striptease in front of 6 year old children?
If an 18 year old male can receive an unsolicited text photo of a 15 year old's breasts and be permanently labeled as a sex offender, why is it OK to hold a celebration where 15 year old's are supported in exposing their breasts to a group of camera toting adult men yelling words of encouragement?
If a father looses custody of his children because of allegations he downloaded sexually explicit material that could be viewed by his children, why is it OK for parents to bring children to a street party where they are exposed to the same kind of material in real life?

Anything else?
In Paris, France (not exactly known as a fortress of morality) those who participated in a sister event were arrested for "sexual provocation" even though there were no performances and participants covered their nipples per prior arrangements with authorities. Paris gets it - Asheville really doesn't...
There's more to come, but for now we will leave you with one thought. GoTopless.Org - the organization that sponsored this event - was created by a man.
