Students Asked To Detail Sexual Fantasies

An online health class assignment has prompted anger from some parents in Eugene, Oregon, where some high school students were prompted to make up and write out a sexual scenario.

The writing exercise was assigned back in January to some students at Churchill High School (Eugene 4J School District) who had been absent from a health class, The Christian Post reported.

This makeup assignment was posted online for the students to complete. The prompt read:

“For those students who were absent, you will write a short story of a paragraph or two. This story is a sexual fantasy that will have NO penetration of any kind or oral sex (no way of passing an STI). You will choose 3 items (romantic music, candles, massage oil, feather, feather boa, flavored syrup, etc.) to use in your story. Your story should show that you can show and receive loving physical affection without having sex.”

As word of the assignment circulated, some parents and community members sounded off.

“The district reviews these curriculums before they get approved, right? Did they actually read this? If this was reviewed, how did it slip through the cracks? I could see this easily becoming a national scandal,” said Churchill High School parent Katherine Rogers, speaking with Oregon Live.

The teacher who posted the assignment was identified as health teacher and football coach Kirk Miller. He has since been placed on administrative leave pending a third-party investigation, NBC 16 reported.

Lane County resident Sheena Bean posted on Facebook, “Why a teacher and coach feels entitled to the sexual fantasies of minor aged male and female students is beyond my understanding. This is completely inappropriate and sickening. Can you imaging [sic] having to look your teacher or coach in the eye knowing he has knowledge of your most intimate imaginations [sic].”

Eugene 4J officials informed parents that the assignment was pulled from the syllabus and would not count towards students’ grades, Fox News reported.

Angry parents and community members attended a school board meeting last Wednesday, where some board members and officials voiced their disapproval of the assignment.

“To require students to write down and share sexual fantasies as a requirement of a course is inappropriate and, I believe, an abuse of authority and invasion of students’ privacy,” said school board member Gordon Lafer, NBC 16 reported.

Following the growing controversy around the assignment, the district said it was moving to replace the curriculum from which it was derived.

“[T]he district has begun the process of reviewing and selecting a new health curriculum to replace the OWL [Our Whole Lives] content that will be completed by the end of the school year,” said Churchill High School Principal Missy Cole, according to Fox News.

The OWL curriculum was developed by the Unitarian Universalist Association (UUA) and the United Church of Christ (UCC).

In an online statement, the UUA claimed that the makeup assignment was based on a misunderstanding of an out-of-print version of the curriculum and was not approved by either the UUA or the UCC:

“The OWL curriculum is developmentally appropriate when implemented as designed, by trained OWL facilitators. According to our records, the teacher in question was not trained by certified OWL trainers. … Overall, at-home readings and activities support parents as their children’s primary sexuality educators, preparing parents to continue this role as their children grow.”

Parents around the country have been voicing concern in recent years over the appropriateness of some sex education curricula and library books that allegedly contain sexually explicit content.

As previously reported in The Dallas Express, the Fort Worth Independent School District’s Board of Trustees caught some flak from parents and community members over potential updates to its sex education curriculum. The fiasco resulted in the district canceling its programming for the current academic year.

The Dallas Independent School District also courted controversy when it was revealed that it was maintaining dozens of allegedly obscene and sexually-explicit books in its libraries after some parents and community members repeatedly called on the district’s trustees to pull the titles and adopt guidelines for screening library books laid out by the Texas Education Agency.

The Dallas Express reached out to Churchill High School’s administrators for comment but did not hear back by press time.

    Why can’t Dallas ISD graduate students that can speak proper English and do basic math? This is what they should concentrate on instead of graduating idiots who can’t even properly speak.

    The pervertedness from the left is what this is. There was no mistake, it did not ‘get by’ the school board members. The ‘coach’ is a pedophile and the grooming of our kids has been happening for years.
    These incidents are too numerous to be accidental. They want morality thrown out the window.

    This assignment is a danger to Gays and also is the assignment of a moralistic scold.

    It is of course inappropriate as an assignment and an invasion of privacy,etc. I think everyone knows that, so I will focus on how it is a danger to Gays.

    1. This information is very susceptible to being leaked. A Gay teenager could be bullied by classmates, lose a part time job, subjected to conflict at home, and subjected to violence elsewhere. This is a serious endangerment of Gay youth.
    2. The assignment has an anti-sex ideology behind it. It tends to imply that physically acting on desire is bad. The UU are a bunch of moralistic scolds always seeking to be morally superior than everyone else. The Gay teenager could be led to think he is a bad person.
    3. How will the assignment be evaulated? Likely by the standards of these moralistic scolds. The LGBTQXYZ basically is ideologically hostile to Gay male desire. Also, the Gay person runs the risk of having a straight person giving them idiotic advice.
    4. There is a real danger that the evaluator might decide that the Gay teenager is trans and want to convince him to transition.
    5. The assignment sounds like something in a fujoshi fantasy. I am not saying there are no Gays who be interested, but we are a community of men and for the great majority of Gays this assignment is laughable.

    The other issue is that in terms of Gay youth, what Gays need is basic health information. This isn’t needed.

    These people are driving the LGBTQXYZ bus off the cliff with this stuff and unfortunately Gays will be took over the cliff with them. What might be appropriate for Gay teenagers will be blocked because it associated with craziness.

    Drag queens who mostly, in my day, want to pretend to be Katherine Hepburn and say, “The Callas Lilies are in bloom again,” have been dragged into this conflict.

    Incorrect reporting! Think you should listen to the parent talking at the school board . . . Anal penetration and oral sex were two of the categories they had to indicate who they would carry out these “activities” with . . . . And the teacher/coach had not returned the graded assignments as of the school board meeting.
