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.
While she enjoys her paid leave, Williams, a seven-year veteran of the Weber School District, faces an investigation and possible disciplinary action.

Well, at least it’s a short drive to Las Vegas.
This “teechur” in a Pooblik Skrewl Collective Hive is walking, talking, proof of Dr. Walter Williams observation that the education department is the bottom decile of IQ testees at any college or university.
Heh.
The teacher is a Clymer.
That’s interesting, as teenagers, we were able to complete this drill without teacher supervision.
According to my teenage nephew, the teachers love to see the reactions and this is how teachers get their “jollies”.

It would never dawn on these “teachers” to teach about the dangers of collectivism, totalitarianism, statism, communism, and socialism.

We had a half-year class called "Practical Economics" when I was in high school, but I don't remember discussions of Mr. Wiggles.
Or if you did, the teacher sent you to detention.
True. I remember that happening to more than one student, in different classes. Not to me, though ... I was too afraid of my parents to cause trouble.
Jeez...what a great class!!! Jeez, does Japan have a class like that?
Classic.
The “title” is irrelevant as the scene was taken from Varsity Blues and the movie never made reference in any way to SP. And, if you watched the movie, you would appreciate its conservative theme of honor and hard work, teamwork, dedication, loyalty, and restraint when being offered sex.
It is a serious movie with serious undertones and messages, with amusing West Texas football caricature references - and having lived in West Texas I can assure you, the funny parts are quite real, though over-blown in the movie.
We must resist the tendency to allow the left to veto what we watch or read.
When the left takes a movie such as Varsity Blues and re-names a scene, does that mean they now own that scene?
I think not.
Have a nice day.
This ping list is for the “other” articles of interest to homeschoolers about education and public school. This can occasionally be a fairly high volume list. Articles pinged to the Another Reason to Homeschool List will be given the keyword of ARTH. (If I remember. If I forget, please feel free to add it yourself)
The main Homeschool Ping List handles the homeschool-specific articles. I hold both the Homeschool Ping List and the Another Reason to Homeschool Ping list. Please freepmail me to let me know if you would like to be added to or removed from either list, or both.
