PHOENIX — An Arizona music teacher whose students performed at a presidential inauguration event is on administrative leave after taking 40 high school students to a Hooters restaurant.
Paradise Valley school district spokeswoman Judi Willis says choir director Mary Segall accompanied the students to a performance in downtown Phoenix last week, and during the outing, they ate lunch at Hooters.
Willis says Segall explained that the restaurant, known for its waitresses' somewhat revealing attire, was the only place that could accommodate a group of that size. But district officials believe there were other options for lunch in the area.
Segall could not be reached for comment.
The teacher plans on retiring in January, and Willis says she does not know if she'll return before then.

Gotta disagree with the district. Doesn't Hooters have a kids menu?

Not a place I frequent as I really don't like their wings--but it isn't a strip club.

(and yes, I'm pretty conservative and think it very silly.)

ITA. We are also talking about HS students, the attire at Hooters probably isn't shocking at that age. Would this teacher be put on leave for taking them to a water park or beach where women are in bikinis

My heart goes out to the teacher, Who is about to retire and then to have this hanging over her head

 

[hearts8701]

hooters does have a kids menu they do have alot of teenage groups go in to eat i seen cheerleaders, football & baseball teams

how ridiculous.

 

[GoodFairies]

Oh no! Think of the children! They shouldn't have to be exposed to hideous outfits and suntan pantyhose that haven't seen "sexy" or "revealing" since 1987.

I'd have a fit if a school took my kids there. Why can't teachers use good judgment?? It's a place where grown men gawk at young scantily clad girls -ewwww!

so is the beach.....

Overreaction, IMO. Hooters is not a strip club, it is a restaurant and though the waitresses wear tight t-shirts and short-shorts, I'd guess that those high school students wear about the same amount of clothing in their gym classes.

I guess there goes a trip to the beach, You can't stop people from having thoughts. The same people would think the same thing of any waitress.It just how there minds work

Everything you said. It's a restaurant.

I can totally see how it was the only place that could accommodate the group size on short notice…If they waited to long to eat parents would be complaining about that…a teacher cant win

 

[dislaney]

That's harsh..

I also would be upset if the school took my child to Hooters without letting me put an order in.

Would you let this woman serve your child wings???

 

[Briarmom]

Oh good grief. I've brought my kids to Hooters. Big whoop.
