You don't have to be a prude for this story to bother you, but a school district in Michigan is getting heat after allegedly bringing children to a lounge with a stripper pole and have the audacity to threaten legal action against the trustee who exposed the incident.
This sexualizing of these children occurred on November 16th when the 6th grade band and orchestra kids from Hart Middle School in Rochester Hills visited Niki's Pizza, a Detroit hotspot, after they had attended a performance by the Detroit Symphony Orchestra. So maybe the school thinks like a dieter: if I take a Splenda with my meal, it's okay to eat the triple scoop chocolate chip cookie sundae.
Located in the Greektown neighborhood, Niki’s Pizza operates in conjunction with Niki’s Lounge, a sex-centered nightclub with poles and the unclad women who slither around on them.
“The students were moved from Niki’s Pizza due to a lack of available space to the Lounge where they tried out some pole dancing,” Rochester Community Schools (RCS) trustee and parent Andrew Weaver alleged in a Jan. 6 Facebook post.Sixth-grade students from Hart Middle School in Rochester Hills, Michigan, are seen playing on “stripper poles” during a November field trip.Niki’s Pizza is a popular spot in Detroit’s Greektown neighborhood.
Pretty little Miss Sally Yakobotchable who plays the triangle and alto kazoo tried out a stripper pole and shouted out, "Look at me! Look at me! I'm hot."
In addition to a photo of the children playing on the poles, Weaver’s post, which was shared with followers of his blog Finding the Right Answer, includes images of Niki’s adult lounge scene and drinks menu, but it is not known whether any of the children belted down booze as they were too busy checking out Sally.

Andrew Weaver’s post quickly made the rounds on social media, where it was shared on Twitter by @LibsofTikTok. RCS subsequently blocked the controversial account as the story got legs.
In a statement to the Daily Caller, RCS executive director of strategic communication Lori Grein lied when she denied that the district took students “to an eatery attached to a ‘strip club.’”
“Proposed field trips are evaluated by a curriculum team and require a parental/guardian permission slip,” she continued.
“The safety and security of our students, staff and school community is always our priority.” [Except when it isn't.]
Niki’s owner Agatha Kefallinos told the outlet that the school would have known about the seating arrangements when it made its reservation, but be it as it may, it was difficult for some of the boys to sit.
“Typically when we have a group of over 100 people, we give them the option of going to our second floor, which is operated as a club on Saturday nights but is closed during the day,” she explained.Trustee Andrew Weaver shared images of the trip on Facebook.
“We’ve been doing this for 20 years. We’ve had dozens of school groups, and there was never an issue.

Kefallinos also said the metal poles are not stripper poles, but simply “part of the decorations,” which are sometimes misused by unclad women for exercise.

Despite the district’s denial of any wrongdoing, Weaver, who ran for trusteeship on a platform of greater transparency between schools and parents, doubled down on his stance that RCS failed to adequately address the situation.Niki’s Pizza also operates Niki’s Lounge, a risqué nightspot where men with dollar bills go to 'relax.'
“As I have stated previously and a key foundation of my promise to the public, there needs to be more focus on the actions that reflect poorly on our District,” Weaver wrote on his trustee Facebook profile on Jan. 8.
“Many community members feel that there is too much time and energy spent trying to stop people from knowing about the actions that reflect poorly on the District while not enough time or energy is spent on actually doing anything about the issue(s) at hand.”
Hand?
Weaver also accused the district of attempting to intimidate him, writing on Jan. 11 that Superintendent Robert Shaner sent a letter to officials on Dec. 21 encouraging the board to “take immediate action to ensure Mr. Weaver’s compliance with protocol” while threatening to seek “legal redress.”Hart Middle School is part of Rochester Community Schools District that is not in upstate New York.
This is not Weaver’s first rodeo with RCS’s thornier side. As a dad, he claims to have received two cease-and-desist letters from the district over social media posts criticizing pandemic policies and remote learning. Opinions other than the ones held by leaders of the Rochester Community Schools District, will not be tolerated.
He also says Shaner filed a police report against him for making “false allegations and insults” during an exchange over masks at a school board meeting. It turns out he was right because masks are as useless as a microscope for a bat.
