School Talent Show Turns into Strip Show

The assistant principal at a California high school has been placed on leave after a campus talent show where male students pranced seductively in underwear and Speedos.

The Paramount Unified School District began an investigation after video of the student performances showed up on YouTube and local television news reports. One performer, Christian Dominguez, says he simply wanted to "pump up" the class at Paramount High School.

According to CBS 2 in Los Angeles, in one of the videos, a boy - about 17 - is in jeans and t-shirt and what looks to be a Superman cape. He strips down to nothing but his socks and a Speedo.

The video continues with another student gyrating on the stage where audience members, male and female, race up to the stage to put money in the boy's shorts.

The crowd, it should be noted, went wild for both performers egging them on. A few gasps could be heard as well as a couple of "oh my Gods!"

But some parents complained.

Superintendent David Verdugo says the performance was inappropriate and the assistant principal who was present has been placed on administrative leave while the district investigates who arranged and managed the acts.

No students have been disciplined.
