Arizona teacher on leave for taking choir to Hooters



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.


Who is out of line here? The teacher or the school district? Leave your opinion...

This is a no-brainer... Hooters? I honestly don't understand what's going on in someone's head to even think this would be ok.

Um, the parent in me is laughing and thinks this is ridiculous.
The teacher in me is thinking that the choir director is a complete moron!
I say they were both out of line, it shouldn't have happened, but now that it's a story we're making it a bigger deal than it should be.

The teacher is definitely out of line. Why didn't he just pass out some condoms while they waited for the check? What a dope!
