8th Grade Field Trip Lunches at Hooters

Some Berwick, Pa. 8th graders got wings and breasts for lunch on their field trip to Baltimore last week.

The Berwick Middle School students were on a field trip to the National Aquarium when the 100-plus students broke up into chaperone-led groups for lunch.

The restaurant chain best known for its busty waitresses in short-shorts was host to one group of 15 to 20 students, reports The Bloomsburg Press Enterprise.

According to the school superintendent, so far no parents give a hoot.

Superintendent Wayne Brookhart says that while he wishes the group's coed chaperones had chosen another restaurant, he has not received any complaints from parents.

A writer for Jezebel.com assures the public that the kids are all right.

“…As someone who was escorted to Hooters as a child by her deadbeat dad, I can confirm that the kids probably weren't traumatized,” writes Jezebel’s Margaret Hartmann. “If anything, they may be confused; for years I couldn't understand what my mom had against owls.”

Hooters spokesman Mike McNeil says the restaurant chain often hosts groups, including sports teams and church organizations with teens and younger children.
