| Thursday, July 22, 2004 BRAVE NEW SCHOOLS Teacher has kids tasting flavored condoms Government agency backs instructor over 9th-grade girl's mom Posted: July 22, 2004 5:00 p.m. Eastern
© 2004 WorldNetDaily.com The New Mexico Health Department is standing behind a sex-education teacher in Santa Fe who encouraged ninth-graders to taste flavored condoms. According to a report in the Santa Fe New Mexican, parent Lisa Gallegos said that when her 15-year-old daughter balked at putting a condom in her mouth, instructor Tony Escudero told her, "Come on, sweetie, have a little fun."
Also, Gallegos quotes her daughter as saying when a male student expressed his disgust with homosexual activity, Escudero said, "Never say never, because you never know. Someday you might like it that way." "I agree with sex ed 100 percent," Gallegos, whose daughter attends Santa Fe High School, told the paper. "I also teach it here at my home. But I think that was inappropriate and wrong 100 percent." According to the report, Dorothy Danfelser, deputy director for the public-health division of the state Health Department, said she wrote Gallegos last week to say Escudero did nothing wrong. "It had been investigated," Danfelser told the New Mexican. "There was no wrongdoing. I have no more comment. ... (Gallegos) may or may not agree with that, but that's her prerogative." Both Danfelser and Escudero claim this was the first complaint he has received about his presentation, which he has been doing for years. "He didn't really tell them to just put (condoms) in their mouth," Danfelser said. "What he does, basically, in his classes, depending on the age appropriateness of the class, is to try to get them ... used to condoms and kind of destigmatize them. "He tells them, if they're comfortable, they can open up the packages, they can touch them, they can stretch them out and those kind of things. And he has told them, if they're the flavored kind, they can go ahead and taste them if they want to. But it's generally to desensitize the whole stigma of 'Oh my God, it's a condom.'"

I'd be in jail for kickin' his a*s. Then I'b be in jail for doing it again.
Hey, at least he wasn't wearing them at the time.
Highly inappropriate teaching. It is unfortunate that such a beautiful place is so full of foul creatures.
There's a stigma attached to condoms still?! Yeah, right...
C'mon, it's just sex. Now if the instructor would have quoted passages from The Bible then I'd be outraged.
Somebody tell Shakeshaft there are new numbers to add to her stats.
This incident and others like it are why so many parents are pulling their children out of public schools and homeschooling them. This is disgusting, and how in the world did this guy get away with "teaching this way for many years" without complaint from parents and other teachers???? *Sigh*
How sick can you get?
How disgusting!
I believe the young lady who objected has a case against the teacher for sexual harassment, under the provisions of Title IX.
Her parents should get a good lawyer and look into suing.
Mr. Foreman of the jury, in the matter of NM v. Gallegos, murder in the first degree, how does the jury find? NOT GUILTY, it was justifiable homicide.
when a male student expressed his disgust with homosexual activity, Escudero said, "Never say never, because you never know. Someday you might like it that way."
Child molesters Paid for by tax payers....and govt. approved.....by the people for the people whether they like it that way or not....
Our forefathers went to war for offenses less severe than this....
imo
Because nobody complained before/sarcasm.
I don't care if I have to work 5 jobs to pay for it ..
I Will Never Ever send my children to Public Schools
The music teacher at my daughters DC public school said to a student "I have a gun and am not afraid to use it" as a joke (she is about 65 yrs old) and she was canned. If she said she had a vagina and was not afraid to use it...well
If I, an adult male, walked up to a ninth grade girl and said, "Put this flavored condom in your mouth," I'd be looking at some serious jail time.
Change me into a teacher, and its celebrated. Sad times at Ridgemont High.
