This is the moment a male stripper performs a ‘Magic Mike’ routine for cheering mums as their kids watch on at a primary school event to mark Mexico’s Mother’s Day.

The incident was filmed at the Manuel Gutierrez Zamora Primary School in the borough of Misantla in the eastern Mexican state of Veracruz and shared on social media where it has been viewed over 200,000 times.

Footage shows the male stripper moving around the crowd assembled in the playground as mums clap and cheer, and little children look on.

The video sparked outrage among netizens who criticised the school for booking a male stripper to mark Mother’s Day.

Facebook user ‘Efrain Salgado Gama’ commented: “The organisers should be fired and if the headmistress is also involved, she should be sacked too! Great education for the children! Barbarians!”

‘Agustin Delgado Ferrara’ said: “So now primary schools are teaching children that it is okay to be a stripper and follow in their footsteps? What kind of country will we have in 10 years’ time?”

However, commentators like ‘Lilith Del Rio’ defended the school performance: “From my point of view, I don’t see anything bad about this. It’s just a man dancing for the mums on their big day. We should remember that there are parents who do not go out often and a bit of fun is never bad for anyone. Children often see worse things at carnival time.”
