The New Mexico Health Department is standing behind a sex-education teacher in Santa Fe who encouraged ninth-graders to taste flavored condoms.
According to a report in the Santa Fe New Mexican, parent Lisa Gallegos said that when her 15-year-old daughter balked at putting a condom in her mouth, instructor Tony Escudero told her, "Come on, sweetie, have a little fun."
Also, Gallegos quotes her daughter as saying when a male student expressed his disgust with homosexual activity, Escudero said, "Never say never, because you never know. Someday you might like it that way."
"I agree with sex ed 100 percent," Gallegos, whose daughter attends Santa Fe High School, told the paper. "I also teach it here at my home. But I think that was inappropriate and wrong 100 percent."
According to the report, Dorothy Danfelser, deputy director for the public-health division of the state Health Department, said she wrote Gallegos last week to say Escudero did nothing wrong.
"It had been investigated," Danfelser told the New Mexican. "There was no wrongdoing. I have no more comment. … (Gallegos) may or may not agree with that, but that’s her prerogative."

Maybe we should just refer to the Public School System as the Pubic School System.

Just the shot in the arm I needed when my homeschooling resolve was weakening…..
Ms. Danfelser also stated that starting next year all ninth graders will have to undergo “intercourse training” in straight and homosexual modes. Quote , “Who do these parents think they are, enforcing their morality on the little children.”
Sex ed should simply be rolled into biology. Teach the facts, and nothing else.
Sue the bloody teacher for child abuse!
