Eastern Kentucky high school under investigation after images of students giving lap dances to staff go viral

The Courier Journal tries to figure out what a "man pageant" is, and whether it's an annual tradition for the school:

A thread about the Hazard High School events on the social media site Reddit titled "This is the mayor of my town being grinded on by a high school student dressed as a woman" has more than 450 comments and 7,600 upvotes on the website.

...

Photos that were subsequently taken down from the athletics department's Facebook page showed students in underclothing giving lap dances to faculty and staff, including Hazard High School Principal [known as "Happy"], who is also mayor of the Perry County city.

...

"Normally, the principal . . . is pretty dad-gum strict, so that surprises me, unless someone pulled something out of a hat,” [a board member] told The Courier Journal.

...

[The principal] was previously the subject of an investigation in 2008 . . . .  The principal also came under scrutiny earlier in 2008 . . . .
