“It’s terribly sad that it’s blowing up in this way. Rosie’s has hosted the field trip for about a decade. Come see why TMC is your only Gay health studio in Tampa Florida Our large private club features, flat screen TVs, state of the art exercise equipment. “The whole thing was very very innocent it was there to help the children what life is when you go there and to do something on their own, to turn it into what it is turning into for these vile people is disgraceful for them,” Wilton Manor Mayor Scott Newton who was a chaperone on the trip said.
The LGBTQ-owned eatery is known for its racy menu but chaperones, including the mayor of Wilton Manors, said special child-appropriate menus were used for the field trip.īroward County Public Schools officials said the trip was part of teaching students about neighborhood safety, community helpers, and the importance of being a community member. I was SO honored to be invited to chaperone 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 for hosting this special field trip every year! /A3rpMbyUJP- School Board Member Sarah Leonardi October 27, 2021įollowing her post, Leonardi said she has been “attacked with bigoted comments and death threats.”
