Joni Quaas says other parents at her daughter's school have been shunning her since the incident. And she says she kept her daughter home last week to avoid being teased.

Quaas complained to her local school board when the superintendent took 26 seventh- and eighth-graders to the restaurant while in Springfield last month.

The chain is famous for the skimpy clothes its waitresses wear.

The superintendent says Hooters was the only place within walking distance that could handle the big group. And many parents support his decision.
