Florida school board member takes elementary school students on field trip to gay bar: 'SO honored'
The Broward County School Board member posted photos of the field trip to Facebook

A Florida school board member chaperoned a group of elementary school children on a field trip to a gay bar, according to photos of the trip she posted to social media.

"I was SO honored to be invited to chaperone Wilton Manors Elementary’s 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 Rosie's Bar and Grill for hosting this special field trip every year!" Broward County School Board member Sarah Leonardi posted on her official school board Facebook page Wednesday.

The post, which was examined by Fox News Thursday morning, shows photos of children in a popular Florida gay bar, Rosie’s Bar and Grill, including a photo of the group posing next to the restaurant’s sign.

Leonardi did not immediately respond to Fox News’ request for comment on the field trip.

Screenshots of Leonardi’s post have since circulated on social media, sparking outrage.

"School board member Sarah Leonardi accompanied Wilton Manors Elementary school on a field trip to a LGBT bar which features menu items like: The Big Girl Burgers, Rhoda Cowboy, Ivana Hooker, Hellena Bun, Georgia Bleu, Young ranch hand, Willy cheesesteak," a screenshot from a private Facebook group, called Moms for Liberty - Broward County, Fl, shows one person saying. The screenshot was posted on the Twitter account Libs of TikTok.

Rosie’s Bar website shows these items on the menu, but it’s unclear if the children were offered the same menu.

"Rosie's Bar and Grill has been a tropical oasis in the middle of the Island City, Wilton Manors, since 2006, offering amazing food and refreshing drinks and sassy fun," the bar’s website states. "Whether you come for lunch or dinner, for Sunday Funday Brunch or for just a few drinks... whether you are LBGTQ+ or an ally...whether you are local or visiting... whether you come with a group or venture out solo... you will have a memorable experience with the most talented crew in South Florida. See you soon!"

Broward School District did not immediately respond to Fox News’ request for comment on why a bar was chosen for a school field trip.

Doesn't Surprise me at all, Broward County is the birthplace of "Florida Man". My only real comment is that the fact that it was a "Gay Bar" is irrelevant to me and the story... doesn't make it better or worse for the situation. Elementary school kids being take to ANY bar for a field trip is the problem here. I could kind of justify it if it was high school kids and the point was for the owner/staff to talk about community and what small business mean to a community and the like but even then i think i MIGHT have an issue with it being a bar.

Gosh Damn! When I went to school they took us on field trips to museums.
Probably the weirdest one was when the Soviets were in town and we went to see real commies, where the Russians showed us all the great stuff they do in the U.S.S.R. I even still got a U.S.S.R lapel pin around here they gave us little tikes.

WTF! is right. The next thing you know they'll be taking the kiddies on field trips to an abortion clinic or to tear down historic monuments.
.
Oh well, it's all about a proper left-wing progressive indoctrination these days.

Partially agree. I think the gay bar matters. It's like we're trying to "normalize" something that is absolutely NOT normal. I'm not saying it is wrong. But less than 2% of the entire world's population is gay/lesbian... so it is fringe society. Why take the fringe and even try to make it "mainstream"?

Vilifying gays for being gay is wrong. Accepting them for who they are is the right thing to do. To give them any more attention than less than 2% of the population deserves is counterproductive to normal society.

98.2% of us (this time that number may actually be correct) are heterosexual. It's not cool to be gay, it's not bad to be gay... it is what it is. Let it go. Quit trying to make it "vogue".

i cant disagree with anything you said. my point about it being a "Gay Bar" not mattering wasn't explained well... If they were taken to that location BECAUSE it was a gay bar i might have an issue, if the fact that it was a "Gay Bar" wasn't part of the decision making and was only made important by the writer of the article or those that are outraged then i think it is irrelevant to the conversation.

From what i can tell Sarah Leonardi, the person that tweeted about it never mentions the fact that it was a "gay Bar" and that came out later from the critics of it. in her tweet it also mentions this is an annual trip/tradition related to "learning about the local community and is in walking distance to the school based on her claim that they walked to the business which is a "Bar and Grill" like many other restaurants. looking at the photos of the place it looks like any other restaurant and other then the questionable names of things on the menu which we don't even know if the kids were exposed to it looks to be a fine place for a bite to eat.

^Sensationalism happens on the right, as well. I'm not blind to it. I saw it for what it was, and many of the "righty" pundits are Almost as guilty of sensationalism as the left.

That bothers me, too. Can we just get the gad durned facts, please?

Sadly, no... we can't. Which is why we need to do our own "looking into things".

In reference, see my Russell Brand thread. Vaccines good!! Brought to you by Pfizer!!

Lemme get this straight........a school board member arranges a field trip for elementary students to an LBGTQ bar and not an eyebrow is raised

What would you say if a school board member took those same kids to the local Baptist Church for a field trip?

Schools do field trips to churches already… many of historical significance.

I wouldn't want my kids being taken on a field trip to a gay church.

Or any church for that matter.

The actual post that brought this to light was by the Libs of Tik Tok stating "A school in @browardschools
district took elementary age kids to a gay bar on a field trip today."

If this posted had not occurred then no one other than the participants would have known about it.

drginc, does the Gay Pride flag colors draped from the celling make it "like many other restaurants?"

i am also assuming the parents of those children signed field trip consent forms which means, they had no issue with it.

Biden took a field trip to the Vatican to see the Woke Pope.

Biden has private meeting with Pope Francis at the Vatican, followed by talks with Italy's leaders

This is Biden's fourth meeting with the pope, as U.S. bishops debate whether to deny the president communion

"Introducing himself to the line of Papal Gentlemen, Biden employed a frequent refrain of his, "It's good to be back. I'm Jill's husband." 😕

"Also in attendance at the private meeting were first lady Jill Biden, Secretary of State Antony Blinked, and national security adviser Jake Sullivan, in addition to the 10 Papal Gentlemen.
On Thursday, the Vatican abruptly canceled the live broadcast of the meeting that was slated to take place. Instead, the Vatican will provide edited footage of the two leaders greeting one another. No explanation was provided for the last minute cancelation."

The canceling of the live broadcast raised suspicions that the cardinals who disapprove of Biden's anti-Christian policies were chanting "LET'S GO BRANDON!"

One thing for sure, the Libs of Tik Tok wanted attention and they got it.
