Late last week, it came to light a class of seventh-grade female students at Stephen Decatur Middle School had been required to make clay models of male genitalia as part of the Family Life and Human Development program taught in county schools to students in grades 5-11. While most agree the course, which teaches students about their changing bodies and making good decisions, is an important one for the students, few agreed making clay models of the male reproductive organs was an appropriate component of the program.

Luzier said the girls in the class made life-size male genitalia with tinsel for hair and Easter eggs representing testicles. She said there must be some better way to teach the male anatomy including posters, text books or approved models.
“The fact that the girls had to make these, touch them, handle them and have them around in the classroom is unacceptable,” she said. “They had to present them to the rest of the class. The little girls were embarrassed and humiliated.”

“The teaching strategy of constructing models is a highly effective and appropriate strategy for studying and learning about body systems in science, for example the digestive system or the circulatory system,” said Witherow. “However, when addressing the sensitive nature of this material, model making with middle school students is inappropriate. As part of the investigation of what has occurred, the teacher has been made aware of this and this activity will be excluded from all future lessons.”

Can you believe that?? If my daughter had been in this “class” you can bet the teacher would have been AWARE of quite a bit.
Exactly what I told my husband.
Exactly how did they know what is “life size”.
Get your kids out of these pedo-shacks they call schools before its too late
If my daughter had been in this class the teacher would be aware of nothing -- unconscious, bleeding.
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.
The reasons for homeschooling are becoming worse and worse.Waiting for the public school defenders to appear and defend this one.
The boy’s 7th grade class thing was easy, they all just brought in Razor Clams......
Okay,I gotta ask: How did the teacher know that the girls would know how make22 a penis?
That is the demonCrat way, according to FaceBook, there are (I forget the number) 57? new ways to classify your gender? Morality, personal responsibility, parental responsibility and parenting are being lost by the populus on a daily basis. We truly have a battle of Good vs. evil upon us. We must all stand united and battle this evil. Redshawk.
Parents should start a civil suit and subpoena the teacher’s ISP records.
I tried making clay models of female genitalia but it always turned out to resemble Senator Durbin (Dumb-IL).
Can you imagine the uproar if this male genitalia modeling project happened in a child's home or in the home of a friend or relative? The Child Protective Services would be at the door in a nanosecond.
Teachers and principals should be held to the **same** standards as parents and ordinary citizens. If a particular behavior would bring the CPS to the door of an ordinary citizen, then the same actions should have the CPS knocking on the doors of teachers and principals.
Where is the uproar from the so-called “good” government teachers that everyone seems to know?
My opinion: There aren’s any “good” teachers. Once a good teacher is discovered they are fired or pushed out of the system.
I'd have been tempted to suspend any awareness whatsoever -- one of those model johnsons upside the head.

Liberals view everything through the prisms of gender and race. Gender and race, rather than virtue and values, fully define what it is to be human. If being human can be defined by things over which we have no choice or control, then every human action, no matter egregious or outrageous, can be excused.
A Google search could accomplish the same thing in a microsecond.
Yes, but the teacher wouldn’t get his/her jollies watching 12yr old girls ‘playing’ with male genitals.
