Utah high school teacher who had kids brainstorm genitalia slang gets paid leave
http://news.yahoo.com/utah-high-school-t...06887.html
Quote:A Pleasant View, Utah high school teacher is now on paid leave after she asked her students to come up with a bunch of slang terms for their genitalia as part of a course called “Adult Roles and Financial Literacy.”
The genitalia brainstorm session occurred on Friday at Weber High School. The teacher is Ashley Williams, reports The Salt Lake Tribune.
“We had some students who reported to administration that a teacher was having an exercise where they were put into groups, male and female, to come up with names for genitalia,” Weber School District spokesman Nate Taggart told the Standard-Examiner. “These were any names that the kids could come up with, and then they were listed on the board.”
When the concerned students told school officials about the exercise, the officials rushed to William’s classroom.
“It was still on the whiteboard, and they had her erase it immediately,” Taggart told the Standard-Examiner. He also noted that the school district found the lesson inappropriate.
A spokesman for the local teachers union, Matt Ogle, explained that Williams got the idea to have students share colloquialisms for male and female genitalia when she attended a Career and Technical Education conference at which other teachers imparted their favorite classroom strategies.
These are professional educators. What was formerly scrawled on bathroom walls is now considered a useful part of public education, while in turn, science, math, the Constitution and other subjects are neglected.
And this is reinforced at teachers' conferences, and celebrated by union reps. Hooray.
Now we know why fitbud's students think they learned so much from him.

Maybe schools should teach reasons for secession and Civil War so dipshits don't demand history rewritten. Nope, they're Hell-Bent on repeating history instead of teaching/learning of it.
