There was a time when teachers were focused on advancing the kids, in all ways, and everything that they did. Everything that teachers said, or joked about, was intended to advance the students and their character in a positive way.

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.
De-sensitizing children/teenagers to the more lurid sides of our (possible) human nature just contributes to the overall decay in morals in our society. The gutter calls and Libs respond.
What this is about is destroying the moral principles that the child learned from his/her parents and/or church.
THAT is the role of the school today.
This is what happens when "penumbra" interpretation gets accepted. Words now mean whatever you want them to mean.
Liberals seem to think that the Constitution is just the listing of a lot of "penumbrae".
This seems to be another story blown out of proportion. This teacher was joking and seeing as only one kid actually did this, he was probably an idiot trying to be funny and got caught then blamed the teacher saying that it was an “assignment”. People these days...
Haha...my cousin’s daughters got into her “Goodie-Drawer” 10 years ago.
Made themselves a slip-n-slide using only the newly polished hardwood floors and a couple of bottles of AstroGlide.
It was only a few months ago that I started wondering why my cousin had so much Astroglide....
Really. Is this something you want teachers even joking about with sophomores?
You really think this is an overreaction?
THIS is just as disturbing. Let's laugh it off as a joke...our teachers do these things all the time.
Teacher should have been walked out the door with all of his belongings in a box. When he admitted he said it.
You can call me a prude, and rationalize that sophomores probably know a lot more about kinky sex than many older people know of, but it doesn't hide what an immoral, unsound, and unprofessional thing this was to even joke about with kids.

The socialists just will not stop. This is akin to the Hitler Youth Groups: Turn in your parents for perceived disloyalty. That is where this is going.
my guess is this was a veiled attempt by the instructor to find out which kids he might be able to groom for later extracurricular activities. find the kids that are rebellious and willing to do this and then zero in on them with more adventurous requests until....next thing you know
Your post is the most disgusting that I have seen here in a long time, and you are lecturing on decency?
You should ask the mods to remove it.
Wow, that is the language to use to call for decency?
You should ask to have it removed.
This teacher should be fired immediately. The parents, AKA the taxpayers, AKA the bosses should absolutely, militantly demand it.
I don’t think so.
That is nowhere near the language I want to use.
I’m not calling for decency. I’m want a war against these people. I have zero tolerance of this crap.
There is no need to foul up this place, and make it like the DU gutter.
Several generations of teachers, in my family. The ones that have passed, are surely spinning in their graves, over what passes for *teaching*, these days.
