Tim McDaniel, who teaches 10th grade science at Dietrich School, told the Twin Falls Times-News that four parents were upset when they learned that his lesson included the word “vagina” and information about the biology behind female orgasm.
“I teach straight out of the textbook, I don’t include anything that the textbook doesn’t mention,” McDaniel remarked. “But I give every student the option not attend this class when I teach on the reproductive system if they don’t feel comfortable with the material.”
I have a feeling that the word "vagina" isn't what the people were complaining about.
A scientist in High Schools should be presenting both sides of an argument.

McDaniel acknowledged that he may have angered some parents by showing the film “An Inconvenient Truth” during a lesson about climate change.
He explained to the Times-News that students were asked to write a paper on their thoughts about climate change after seeing the film.
“I’m not looking for one answer, I just want them to be able to explain what they believe,” McDaniel said.
If he didn't provide the counter argument I would call him out also. To repeat my original point, I doubt very seriously the problem is the word vagina.

Both sides of what argument? What is "the other side" of the argument when it comes to adding more heat trapping gases to the atmosphere? Is the teacher suppose to present what actual scientists have concluded and then also include propangda from the fossil fuel industry?

The movie was nothing but propaganda. There is no reason to re-argue that.

People went to court over that film in England and won. The film was demonstrated to have so many errors that the court ordered it taken out of schools.

The parents were angry about a movie about the environment, so they complained about him using the word "vagina"?
Jebus, I WISH righties believed climate change starts in the vagina. Then you'd be regulating the hell out of it, in all 50 states, and 24/7/365.

The judge concluded "I have no doubt that Dr Stott, the Defendant's expert, is right when he says that: 'Al Gore's presentation of the causes and likely effects of climate change in the film was broadly accurate.'" -Justice Burton

So adding heat trapping gases to the atmosphere doesn't trap more heat? That's an interesting view point. Completely wrong, but also your right to think that way.

No, it feeds shade trees.
