Sex Toy Story
Accuracy in Academia ^ | June 5, 2015 | Malcolm A. Kline

Show and Tell no longer has the same harmless meaning it once had. “Parents of students at Encinal High School in Alameda want a teacher fired after they say he sent them home with an extra credit assignment of finding sex toys and condoms in their parents’ private drawers, and taking a selfie with what they find,” CBS San Francisco reported on June 3, 2015. “Mothers Kimberly Cobene and Evangeline Garcia heard about the sex toy selfie last month from a counselor at an afterschool program their sophomore daughters attend.”

“It was to go into your parents’ private drawers or whatever to seek out sexual toys or condoms, or anything of that nature and to take a selfie with it,” Cobene told the CBS bay area bureau.

“Encinal High administrators implied to the moms that the assignment may have been a joke, but not every student saw it that way,” according to CBS. “From what I understand, a student actually did it and he used that as an example of what it should look like for the other students,” Cobene noted in an comments to CBS-SF.

The Encinal story comes on the heels of a related incident in Minnesota. “Some parents are outraged after the leader of a small Minneapolis private school took about a dozen middle- and high-school-aged students on a sex education field trip to an adult novelty store late last week,” Nicole Norfleet reported in The Star-Tribune on June 2, 2015.

Oh good lord.

No wonder we fair so badly against the left. We have a room full of people hanging onto fainting couches while they are firing ICBMs.

Here is a tip: Get a thicker skin. If you can’t handle this, then don’t bother engaging with the left because they will roll you right over.

The wuss culture even effects this place.

You could say the same about the thread topic, you should be able to handle it well enough to discuss it in public, without sounding like a raving DU punk.

That photo from post 11 reminds me of how wonderful teachers used to be, they were really inspirational and of extraordinary quality.

Teachers of the past were among the finest of all Americans, exactly the people to handle the preparing of our nation’s children.

Are you kidding? A raving DU punk? I’d bet you’ve never even been to that site, because if you think what I said was the same, then you really are clueless. Sorry if some of us feel more strongly about this than some wannabe mod with the constitution of some Victorian spinster, but I am not going to 4th grade my language to spare your feelings.

If you dont like what I said? Then why don’t you give us your response instead of policing everyone else.

The school staffer should have known better. As someone who has done considerable volunteer work with teens, I know better than to make joke suggestions to teens because I guarantee you that at least one of the teens will carry it out thinking they are being funny. The wrecking ball will always come back to hit you for it.

I said you want to gutter up the language here and make it like DU, you also seem to get your idea of being tough from DU.

Typical modern punk behavior, cussing in public to sound like a big boy.

You sound totally nuts and freakish as you rave about FR having language limits, did you forget that this is a conservative, pro-God site?

Chill out.

I’m anything but liberal, a liberal would be trying to bring in your DU language, grow up, and become more conservative.

Continuing with the news report, administrators of the school said the assignment may have been a joke. Maybe in Wyoming, but not in California.

Baby steps.
