Hello Nudist (& Nudist Friendly) folks, I just posted a new page on my Naturist Website. It is one I wrote a few years back and submitted to N magazine but it was never published. Anyhow, I had it so thot I'd share. Shale http://home.earthlink.net/~robnude/id21.html
I can recall this type of material beginning to be published in the late 1970s when the rights of the disabled became to be considered properly. I was aware of books and journal articles on this topic through being the purchasing officer for a medical library. There was an International Year of the Disabled Person in 1980. This period was the high point of the hippie years in NZ. I would see this subject as sexuality and the disabled. Nudity in education is something different. I would associate this with say sanctioned skinny dipping in the school swimming pool. The interesting thing about this is that there is a long tradition of swimming naked at boys' schools and at the YMCA. This had died out by the early 1970s in Christchurch. The alternative "Four avenues" school founded in 1974 more reflected hippie attitudes toward nudity being a choice and a statement and senior pupils were allowed to use the local municipal pool during free periods, without supervision I might add. Naked swiming was not ever school policy as such and reflected a general demand from the student body.
I came across a video on the net where a fully naked model was in front of a class of medical students,with that guy that does does the plastecine of corpses on display.I wwas amazed at the detail!
