They don't talk about sex in kindergarten or first grade.

But, I notice this fact didn't stop you from throwing up the 'abortion' strawman, did it?

Until you're ready to discuss this with even a modicum of intellectual honesty, then there's really no point in continuing.

Intellectual honesty???? There seems to be a group of posters that want to throw a group of kids into the middle of adult topics. The kids should not be in the middle of this period. This should have been handled out of the classroom, just like other disputes about curriculum. This is a matter between the parents and the adults that are running the school. Curriculum disputes need to be handled at the adult level, period. Kids should not be involved, especially 6 year olds.

I am a retired HS teacher. When I left instructions for a substitute, I expected that substitute to follow my instructions to the letter....nothing more or less.

This particular teacher acted on her own in an officious manner. She destroyed the joyment of the poem for these small children. Regardless of what you think, she was and continues to be a cruel person who is not fit to be around small children.
