School field trip? Good idea.  When the destination is a strip club?  Bad idea.

A Butler Tech school district spokesperson in Ohio says our Bonehead of the Year, who worked as a teacher, took four girls to a male strip club. Epperson reportedly told school officials she had gotten permission from the parents of the 17- and 18-year-olds to bring them to Club Masque in Dayton. Epperson reportedly claims the girls asked her to take them to the bar.  Epperson has since resigned from her teaching position.

Oh, yeah, what makes this doubly depressing.

\ The field trip's destination city is my former stomping grounds in Dayton.

\ When we tallied the votes, Epperson collected -- 69% of your vote.
