How dumb are the so called adults here? Oh, this is a very TFG place.

1. Wow, American values aren't what they used to be.

[Wingus Dingus]

2. I think they thought it was OK because it's boys and not actual girls doing it--

obviously a comedic stunt, but cripes... it's still inappropriate AF. Is "contributing to the delinquency of a minor" still a thing?

[janterry]

4. the girls were dressed in hooters costumes

with fake beer. One act included people being paddled (I posted about this in the KY forum)

[Wingus Dingus]

6. What the hell were they thinking?

[Bev54]

10. Are they so unengaged in the real world around them, they

cannot understand this will never be looked upon as ok, by anyone not them.

[Wingus Dingus]

13. Yes, this principal's spouse or the lap dancing kids' parents didn't

hear about the plans beforehand and say, "WHAAAT are you planning to do at homecoming?!?" Even if a handful of adults or kids had a bad idea and couldn't visualize how this would go over, certainly sharing the planned routine with family, friends and colleagues would have made them rethink it.

3. this the kind of thing you see and think....

what OTHER poor decisions do these folk make if they thought this was a good idea

[janterry]

5. principal who received the 'lap dances' is also the mayor

n/t

[StarryNite]

7. Beer mugs and champagne glasses

That's what my daughter's high school senior class was given as their graduation gifts from the school. Of course the name of the high school and graduation date were on them. These were mostly 18 year old students. Legal drinking age is 21. That was in 1998. Okay, not as bad as lap dances but still not appropriate.

8. Compulsory heterosexuality

[Grasswire2]

9. I wonder how many of those families consider themselves Christians.

Bizarro.

[Coventina]

11. YIKES!!!!

As an educator, this appalls me!

[LizBeth]

12. Right or left, when sexualization/sexism or patriarchy work for us, we excuse it.

14. School Superintendent Sondra Combs's statement to a local newspaper:

OFFICIAL STATEMENT REGARDING HOMECOMING ACTIVITIES
https://www.wymt.com/2021/10/27/controversy-follows-hazard-high-school-assembly/

This HS is in Kentucky, btw, despite the printing on the Hooters' t-shirts. HS girls dressing up as Hooters servers is actually the most offensive part to me because they actually planned ahead and purchased those outfits. Did some of their parents pay?

Obviously, it won't be happening again.

[twin_ghost]

15. Oh it just teenage kids in high school having some fun.

[elevator]

16. I can be as much of a pervert ( 8yrs Catholic school) as the next person, but that

is just gross.

17. Teacher getting a lap dance from a high school boy in a Speedo

Is that legal ?

[LeftInTX]

19. It's a skit..50 years ago, totally acceptable

Not so much today.

Not a real lap dance, but a skit

When my daughter was 10 she was in a play called, Bedside Manor. Tickets were $20, so it was a semi-professional production. All the actors/actresses were kids under 13. Tommy Lee Jones' daughter was in the play and Tommy Lee Jones was the audience.LOL

Laughter is contagious in this tune-filled romp through the wackiest hospital around, Bedside Manor! The silly staff and comical patients are bound to leave your audience almost dying with laughter. Wacky gypsies sing and dance in their own delightful song. A lovable Skid Row Man croons about his life. Dr. Fred tunefully tells about his longing to be the hospital’s head honcho. Besides all of this madness, Dr. Huggems may be heading back to his job at the car wash if he can’t stop passing out when he sees blood. The Band Aides, those lovable volunteers, have their eyes fixed on their favorite TV program, ”Of Human Bandage,” while a film crew roams through the halls making a documentary, ”This Was Your Life.” Additional songs include the health-promoting toe-tapper, ”Eat, Eat, Cream of Wheat”, and the hilarious ”Humor Overdose.” So watch out! Your audience may become delightfully acute with laughter and applause as the curtain falls on Bedside Manor!

&t=14s

Tommy Lee Jones' daughter was in the blood and guts skit. She had a "tough girl" look...Menacing "Blood and guts" She was only 7

&t=23s

I think my daughter was throwing pillows in this scene...

This was way back in 1998 or 99.

[left-of-center2012]

20. 50 years ago?

I graduated high school 57 years ago.
It would not have been acceptable.

[Steelrolled]

18. I think I should be offended, but I don't know what the reason should be.

A complicated world we live in.

[Dorian Gray]

21. Was that a bad idea?

(sarcasm)
