Photos from the trip were posted online by Broward School District 3 School Board Member and high school teacher Sarah Leonardi, who helped chaperone the trip to the restaurant that features items like the “Left One” chicken breast sandwich, the "Booty Call," the “Miley High Club” and the “Young Ranch Hand.” The diner/bar - which has since complained about being labeled a "gay bar" - is reportedly known as a local hangout for LGBTQ customers, which apparently make up the vast majority of the restaurant's clientele. Parents were livid after finding out their kids, students at Wilton Manors Elementary School, were taken on a field trip to Rosie’s Bar and Grill, a local eatery that caters to the LGBTQ-LMNOP community and includes a number of.let's just say, maturely nick-named menu items. Which, apparently, one teacher in Broward County, Florida, entirely missed. Now imagine that, instead of one of these perfectly acceptable choices for prepubescent youth, you decide to take them to….a gay bar.Ĭan’t imagine that? Good – that likely means you were in line the day they handed out shreds of sanity. Options might include the zoo, a children’s museum, perhaps a science center. Now imagine you’re tasked with taking your class on a couple of field trips each year. Your students range in age from, say, 5 years old in kindergarten and 10 years old – maybe 11 – by the end of fifth grade. One of Rosie’s regular, Scott Travis, took to Facebook to express disgust at how the story was being reported by some of the more right-leaning media outlets.Imagine this: you’re an elementary teacher. No different than a field trip to Outback!

?️?įrom what I’ve gathered, the bar and grill isn’t a typical “bar” – they have special kid-friendly menus and coloring pages. ? If I could have went on a field trip like this at that age, it would have been literally life changing. Because me thinks the issue isn’t that there was a bar at the grille. Just making sure you’ve never brought children to Applebee’s, TGIF Friday’s, Outback, or chili’s. However, some of the responses have been supportive. You just can’t trust many teachers or schools anymore thanks for continuing to prove our points Please tell me they will all get fired for this. The fact that you’ll joyfully promote a elementary school activity that has nothing to do with your core mission as an educator of this vulnerable age group, just confirms many parent’s fears of how broader cultural issues are being taken out of parents hands, w/o their consent. I’m gay and think elementary school students going on a field trip to a gay bar is ridiculous. This is just wrong on so many levels! Then telling the world that you did it! It is an indicator of just how much reform is needed in schools and school boards. It’s safe to say, most came from people with no connection to Wilton Manors. Here are just a few examples of the tweets. Related: Florida u-turns and now allows local bridge to be lit in rainbows for Pride month The field trip has taken place for around the last ten years. Of course, the kids were not shown that, having their own age-appropriate menu instead. Some picked up on the fact that the menu for adults offers such dishes as the ‘Rhoda Cowboy’ and ‘Ivana Hooker’ burgers. The majority are from people outraged at the idea of a school arranging a field trip to an gay-friendly restaurant. School Board Member Sarah Leonardi October 27, 2021Īt a time when school board meetings have become a friction point over mask mandates and LGBTQ-inclusive lessons, the posting has prompted over 2,000 comments on Twitter and hundreds on Facebook. I was SO honored to be invited to chaperone field trip to the incredible Rosie’s! The students and I had a fun walk over and learned a lot about our community! A huge thank you to for hosting this special field trip every year! /A3rpMbyUJP
