Inappropriate Mask 😷

I read an article about a 5th grade boy who got in trouble for wearing a Hooters mask at school. The boy was sent to the principals office and was told it was inappropriate because “it expresses a woman’s body” and it went against the code of conduct and dress code. The father was upset and did not understand why he was in trouble for a mask with the name of a restaurant on it. He said “there is nothing wrong with a restaurant”, and went on to explain how the family eats there all the time, watches sports, has wings, and chocolate cake...The father said there shouldn’t be anything offensive about a woman’s body anyways.

Do you think the boy was fine wearing that specific mask? Or was it inappropriate and the principal did the correct thing by making him remove the mask?

*personally I believe that the school did the right thing. If he was wearing a mask that said “chili’s” or “McDonald’s” or “buffalo wild wings”, it probably wouldn’t have mattered. But I think the issue is because women’s breasts are often referred to as “hooters” in a derogatory way, and the restaurant is known for its waitresses dressed in slightly “provocative” clothing. (I don’t personally think they dress badly, they dress how any waitress in a sports bar dresses. But I’m just pointing out that’s the typical reference of that particular restaurant.) Even if it wasn’t a restaurant, I think the term alone is questionable based on how it is used...
