why in the name of God would a teacher of Social Studies and Psychology be having a conversation about phallic references in the Bible?

They're always trying to demean the church, that's because they're leftists, not pedophiles.

And why wouldn't the teacher discuss the genitals in a PSYCHOLOGY class?? If kids want to take a grown-up subject like psychology, they should be expected to be able to discuss grown-up things.

Hello?!?

You're missing the point...terribly. Sure, the topic of sexual references in the Bible is a legitimate one. But you're off the mark on WHY subjects like that are brought up by morons like this teacher. It's to steer the conversation toward SEX, not to denigrate religion. Put some chum on the hook, troll around, and see if you get any bites, get it? Furthermore, you can't just start talking about penises in Social Studies class (or Psychology for that matter) so you talk about phallic references in the Bible to give the conversation some semblance of nobility.

As far as the role of sex in Psychology, that's pointless for adults to even argue. For hormone-charged teenagers, however, one could teach an extremely comprehensive course for an entire school year, and not even address sexual topics...!

Unless the teacher stood to gain SOMETHING, whatever that may have been, why would he risk his career by having such tawdry conversations and showing inappropriate films...ones he KNEW his principal wouldn't approve showing to his students???
