A high school in Oregon has sparked outrage after a teacher asked students to write about their 'sexual fantasy' including three items like candles, massage oil or feathers.
Health class students at Churchill High School in Eugene were asked to make up for missed coursework by completing a 10-point assignment titled 'Fantasy Story'.
The assignment reads: '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).
'Your story should show that you can show and receive loving physical affection without having sex.'
Teacher Kirk Miller gave students the assignment via Canvas, an online learning management system, and also asked them to choose three items, such as candles, massage oil, feathers and flavoured syrup, to use in their stories.
After the assignment was posted to a Facebook group, it received hundreds of comments from parents.
One said: 'If an adult male asked my daughter to share her sexual fantasies with him, I would be livid and be going to the police. No teacher has any business asking this of a child.'
Katherine Rogers, whose 16-year-old daughter is in Mr Millers' class, said students felt 'mortified, awkward and creeped out' after they were given the assignment.
She said some students chose to respond to the fantasy assignment from the point of a view of a character in the cartoon 'Kung Fu Panda' to avoid being too personal.
Ah, the kids are 16. So, presumably that's OK.

I would go to the police as well. To turn myself in for charges of assault…
Why did they comment “Adult male” ? Would it be better if it was an adult female?

This Miller creep needs to be fired.
Fired.
Catseye, he was just teaching the curriculum, he did not create the assignment.

George's article had this: "The assignment reads: '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).
"Teacher Kirk Miller gave students the assignment via Canvas, . . . and also asked them to choose three items, such as candles, massage oil, feathers and flavoured syrup, to use in their stories."

Not to mention it’s discriminatory- what about those of us who can’t show affection without sexual intercourse?

Yes, it was a makeup assignment, but that assignment is still part of the curriculum. Seriously. Read up about OWL. The Unitarian Church is stating that it was an out of date book and the teacher wasn’t trained on how to present the material, but that sounds like CYA to me.

As a side note, it's funny how LoTT gets vilified for these tweets. All she does is post things that are factual - with screenshots, videos and retweets. Look at her interaction with AOC last week.

I understand some healthy skepticism, but this stuff is being fought out in schoolboards across the nation. I live in the buckle of the Bible Belt and we had groomers decrying the removal of some books from school libraries.
They got heard and then they were ignored. As parents said...You want your child to wallow in crap, buy it for them yourselves.

A clarification IOW. I wasn't making any point of my own.
Might not be worth clarifying.
