With sick school administrators and teachers, you now know why USA's education system cannot compare to Singapore's!!
A US arts school has come under fire for ‘forcing’ students to strip naked and perform erotic gestures in order to graduate.
For University of California students, the ‘naked exam’ is a course requirement for a class in the visual arts department.
To pass, students strip naked in a candlelit classroom in front of the class and professor.
Students are also required to perform ‘a gesture that traces, outlines or speaks about your ‘erotic self’, according to course syllabus.
According to Professor Ricardo Dominguez, he had not had any complaints about the exam in the 11 years he had taught the course.
However an outraged mother has spoken out against the requirement after her daughter told her about it.
The mum said the requirement was not made clear to her daughter at the start of the course and called it an act of ‘perversion’.
She told ABC News affiliate KGTV that the exam made her ‘sick to her stomach’.
Professor Dominguez felt if students were uncomfortable with the gesture they should not take the class.
According to the course description on the faculty website, students 'use autobiography, dream, confession, fantasy or other means to invent one's self in a new way, or to evoke the variety of selves in our imagination'.
It continues: 'The course experiments with an explores the rich possibilities available to the contemporary artist in his or her own persona'.
The Chair of the Visual Arts Department, Dr. Jordan Crandall told KGTV that the class was not a requirement for graduation and that students are not required to be nude.
