Agree But Reluctantly

"You've got to be joking," said Danielle. "How in the hell can this be legal?"

"Well, technically I'm not asking you to do anything illegal."

Danielle spoke up. "Not illegal? I can't just go around naked. I'll get arrested."

"Not in this state, Danielle. Public nudity is not illegal here," Stone Fox responded.

"It's not?" Danielle was surprised by this answer.

The man of the house shook his head. "A few years ago a nightclub owner took a case to the state Supreme Court challenging state regulations against nude dancing. It was argued that freedom of expression provisions in our state constitution allows for nudity as a form of expression. The state Supreme Court ruled in favor of the nightclub owner and as a result public nudity is protected as a legitimate form of expression which cannot be restricted unless it's accompanied by lewd behavior or sexual acts. That's why you now see nude dancing bars on every other block and a couple of popular beaches have designated areas as 'clothing optional'."

Mr. Fox asked her one last time, if she wanted to live on the streets or live under the conditions. Danielle agreed, but not willingly.

"First of all, I can't imagine my college allowing me to attend school naked. What happens if they won't let me?"

"You can certainly wear clothes to college, but only clothes that I pick out and I schedule when you wear them."

Danielle slowly walked back up the stairs and into her room. She immediately dozed off as her head hit the pillow. This was going to be a tough month.
