A Eugene, Oregon, health teacher asked his freshmen students to describe their sexual fantasies in one writing assignment and to list fellow students with whom they would like to have sex in another.
Parents were furious and Churchill High School is now reconsidering its under-fire curriculum.
The teacher and sports coach wrote that students must, “Write a short story of a paragraph or two [about] a sexual fantasy …”
Students were instructed to “choose 3 items [romantic music, candles, massage oil, feather boa, flavored syrup,] to use in your story.
“Your story should show that you can show and receive loving physical affection without having sex.”
He previously gave an assignment called, “With Whom Would You Do It?” that encouraged bisexuality.
That assignment required students to, “List on the handout the initials of a male and a female that you would do each activity with. You may use the same person for multiple activities.”
“So while we are teaching our daughter to abstain from sex, her high school health teacher is asking her to pick out sexual partners and swing both ways,” one outraged mother told The Epoch Times.
Parents said that the activities in question were sexual in nature. Students in the class said they felt “awkward and creeped out,” by the assignments.
“Why a teacher and coach feels entitled to the sexual fantasies of minor-aged male and female students is beyond my understanding,” wrote Sheena Bean on a parent Facebook thread.
“This is completely inappropriate and sickening. Can you imagine having to look your teacher or coach in the eye knowing he has knowledge of your most intimate imagination? This has no business in school!”
In an email sent to Churchill High families on March 9, Principal Missy Cole said she and other administrators at the high school will work with Eugene school district officials to review its high school health curriculum, which is called Our Whole Lives and was developed by the Unitarian Universalist Association and the United Church of Christ.
“At this time, the assignment has been removed from the class syllabus and will not be a part of students’ grades,” Cole wrote to parents.
“The Our Whole Lives curriculum is utilized by many districts across the state and is endorsed by the Oregon Department of Education.”
But on March 10, the Oregon Department of Education said that the curriculum is not on the state’s list of recommended instructional materials for high school health classes.
This assignment comes as Oregon schools lost 34,000 students and have one of the worst graduation rates in America.
Oregon’s public education system continues to rank 41st in the nation for education.
“This kind of curriculum has no place in our schools. The Oregon education system is failing our kids with less than 45 percent reading at grade level and less than 32 percent able to do math at grade level.
“We need to be focusing on academics and catching our kids up on years of pandemic-related learning loss,” Mackensey Pulliam of Oregon Moms Union told the Epoch Times in an email.
“The purpose of our schools is to set students up for success as they enter the workforce or higher education, not to teach them about sexual fantasies.”
Meanwhile, the Oregon Legislature is considering a bill to add climate change education to the state’s curriculum.
Is there a State Board of Education or federal Department of Education mandate in this regard.
Where’s General Pinochet?
I think this one goes all the way to the top. To the Big Sniffer!
“Why a teacher and coach feels entitled to the sexual fantasies of minor-aged male and female students is beyond my understanding,”
They are perverts and the el/hi school systems are now controlled, I believe, by demon possessed unions that allow all kind of perversion.
This health teacher should be named, and charges should be brought against him. Leading this kind of conversation with children is illegal, and he needs to spend years behind bars.

I simply do not understand how any parent with a modicum of awareness subjects their children to public education. It blows my mind.
I think the teacher is a male.
Needs to be hanged by his parts. 4TheFatGirl⁴
OK, challenge accepted. My theme is kinky. Bondage, torture and death — for each and every school admin/teacher. Name names and type of rope used for each.
Go for it. And, watch how they look at you in the class from then on. The ones who admire you are the ones to report to the coppers.
Next week’s assignment: body disposal. Packaging of parts and identification of swamps.
Education is a great wedge issue for Republicans and they should hammer it. One of those issues the media and the liberals are slow and behind on, how angry many parents are about the continuing decline in education in this country.
I don’t want to hear his “fantasies”.
You must have been my competition....usually took me a bit longer!
......Students were instructed to “choose 3 items [romantic music, candles, massage oil, feather boa, flavored syrup,] to use in your story.....
Many of us can experience love without ANY of those items!
But this bogus assignment was not really about love anyway!!!!
My freshman health teacher was a WW2 combat vet that enlisted after Pearl Harbor. He’d been drafted by the Rams.
Soon those of us living in Florida will start seeing more license tags from Oregon... folks looking for a new home.
I lived in Eugene for over 40 years and saw it move from liberal to weird. What is happening is exactly what they voted for as they elected 4J board members.
Another consequence of, “I don’t care what people do in private...”.
Yeah - same here. My freshman health teacher was a Vietnam Vet. Was a PE teacher, and baseball/football coach (when they used to not overlap). He always told funny non-combat stories about things he saw in Vietnam. The discussion on VD included experiences of his "buddies" in-country. Better and more convincing than any text book. It was an all-boys school, so he could be more graphic.
I am certain, teaching health was NOT one of his interests/goals in life.
I do want to say that the proper use of “whom” in the assignment title shows that this is a literate cretin, as opposed to the semi-literate cretins who make up much of the teacher corps. Must have a masters degree
This ping list is for the other articles of interest to homeschoolers about education and public school. This can occasionally be a fairly high volume list. Articles pinged to the Another Reason to Homeschool List will be given the keyword of ARTH. (If I remember. If I forget, please feel free to add it yourself)
The main Homeschool Ping List handles the homeschool-specific articles. I hold both the Homeschool Ping List and the Another Reason to Homeschool Ping list. Please freepmail me to let me know if you would like to be added to or removed from either list, or both.
