Teacher Takes Students to Strip Club

Fox News: A southwest Ohio teacher has resigned after acknowledging she accompanied four female students to a male strip club, a school spokesman said.
Butler Tech school district spokesman Bill Solazzo said 47-year-old Lori Epperson resigned Thursday. He said Epperson told Edgewood High School administrators that the students -- all cheerleaders at the school north of Cincinnati in Trenton -- asked her to take them to the bar in February.
Epperson told school officials in an e-mail that she got permission from the parents of the 17- and 18-year-olds to bring them to Club Masque in Dayton.
Epperson taught marketing at the school and previously served as a coach for the district's eighth-grade cheerleaders.







Club Masque is not a strip club. It is a dance club that serves primarily gay men. Some nights, there are male dancers, but it is not a strip club. The news articles give the impression that this is some dive bar, which it is not. Still, probably not the smartest move for the teacher to take the kids there. However, she obtained the kids’ parents’ permission, so I’m not sure the outing should necessitate her resignation.
