Sending female employees to a strip club? This guy is begging for a sexual harassment lawsuit.
This is sex discrimination against the MALE workers who have low morale. They should be treated acoordingly.
They still have this Chippendales garbage? Nothing worse than women trying to act like they are having a good time acting like men. I'd rather clean up cat puke. Never found overly pumped up hairless men with breasts to be sexy. Always seemed very gay to me.
Clearly, the same type of wisdom and perspective that leads one to go to strip shows.
Poor judgement, poor taste. He should have bought them lunch in a fancy restaraunt. That would have worked just as well and not been questionable.
Maybe the superintendent thought it was a furniture show...
We have a saying here in our office....anything can happen in Kentucky...and usually does....
It worked, but it also raised the ire of at least one person, who wrote an anonymous letter to the state Office of Education Accountability
What a hump. The guy paid for it with his own money. If you dont want to go, dont go.
I believe this qualifies as a "Just DAMN" scenario. Talk about piss-poor judgment.
Aside from his choice of career, which is of course that of a fund raiser for a malevolent monopolistic business enterprise, he is a pretty good fellow. WHAT in the world was he THINKING?
I read that the Southern Baptist Convention stopped short of a resoultion asking that their members to remove their children from the public schools. It is rather routine articles like this that give support to such a resolution. In many states more outrageous things than these go unreported.
but then again, he is probably a demonrat and therefore, nothing will be done about it...
but just trying sending your employees to a faith revival.....
Are we going to buy into the Clintonian argument that what a role model does in private is irrelevant to his character or to his leadership role?
Once upon a time in Jesus' day, a follower--a disciple--was someone who followed their master 24/7. This is still true in India amongst its gurus. You learned from Jesus the Master or India's gurus around-the-clock--from both the intentional teaching times as well as a life-on-life absorption. Education was more informal than formal--it was caught, not just taught. What Jesus did in his solo time (prayer) impacted what he did in his social life.
Character isn't something you manufacture professionally. It's who you are, 24/7. And it bleeds. It bleeds over any false boundaries we attempt to set up.
What a person in a position of trust (children-wise) does in their "own" time (whatever that is given that we're only stewards, not masters of this life on earth) has implications for influencing children who emulate them.
Otherwise, who gives a rip if educators themselves earn extra income as strippers or prostitutes outside the classroom?
"We just laughed and laughed and laughed," said Jena Meehan, the superintendent's secretary. "It was a spectacle, to be sure,
I'm sure those scantily clad dudes would hope for a better reaction than laughter. I don't know many men who would be comfortable with a bunch of women laughing at his naked body.
NOTHING was wrong with what he did. PERIOD!
No need for excuses, crying, whining, nor apologies!
Tell them all to go to H&LL!
From the article:
The women who attended the show said they enjoyed it.
"We just laughed and laughed and laughed," said Jena Meehan, the superintendent's secretary.
Sexual harassment lawsuit? It doesn't sound like the women who attended the strip show were very upset about it. Besides, who was harassed?
Pray for W and Our Awesome Troops
Ummmm...anything that involves folks stripping and humping the air to entertain people of the opposite sex can't be classified as "high-class"...
But regardless of the morality of the Chippendale show, the use of school funds absolutely throws this off the deep end. The Jack The Jerk should loose his job. What's the difference between this guy taking/sending his female staff members to a Chippendales show, and a classroom teacher sending their graduating male Seniors (who are 18) to a strip joint?
