The city Department of Education was wrong to suspend a Staten Island teacher for discussing vulgar words for sex acts and parts of the anatomy with students in her sex-education class, Judge Jack Weinstein wrote in a decision that allows the teacher to sue the city.

"If the Board of Education wants its teachers to instruct adolescents about HIV using Latinism of the academy, excluding vulgarism of the street, it should tell them so, plainly," the 89-year-old judge said.

No new news to me. The public schools are free to choose the method they use for teaching all that the government is now allowing them to teach. We saw that one in "Brown v. Hot, Sexy & Safer." One of the reasons my kids will not be returning to the public schools next year. Three weeks and counting...

Since that happened in the early 90's. I have to wonder why you kids were EVER in public school.

Didn't know about it until recently when "stuff" started happening in new school and I started doing some research.

This is good news. It also demonstrates that the "rubber rooms" in the New York public school system are not solely a dumping ground for incompetent teachers, and that providing teachers with due process before they can be discharged is a necessity.

They didn't have sex-ed when I was a kid. So, we learned the "facts of life" by talking "dirty" amongst ourselves.

I guess kids today must have changed and only use proper technical terms for sex related functions and objects.

If I had my choice between f**king, screwing, and engaging in sexual intercourse, I would choose one of the first two.
