Um lets see human anatomy lesson and he uses the correct words for
different body parts. You have to wonder about the intelligence of
some conservative parents.

 Teacher Tim McDaniel is also in hot water for asking students to
write critical response papers on climate change
By Katie Mcdonough

High school science teacher Tim McDaniel is being investigated by
Idaho’s professional standards commission because he allegedly used
the word “vagina” while teaching a 10th grade biology lesson on
reproduction and anatomy.

According to a report from the Times-News, four parents complained to
school officials after learning that McDaniel explained the biology of
an orgasm and used the word “vagina” during a lesson on human
reproduction in his sophomore science class.

A disciplinary letter from the Idaho State Department of Education
also accused McDaniels of showing a video clip in class depicting an
infection of genital herpes and teaching about different forms of
birth control. The letter also alleges that McDaniels told
inappropriate jokes in class.

McDaniel also found himself in hot water for asking his students to
write a critical response paper on climate change after showing them
“An Inconvenient Truth.”

But his students are defending him, arguing in a petition that parents
from their conservative community in Dietrich are trying to push a
political agenda by getting their biology teacher fired:

    “[T]here are a couple people in the community that are trying to
get Mr. McDaniel fired for teaching the reproductive system, climate
change, and several other science subjects. All these subjects were
taught from the book and in good taste. He cares for each of his
students and goes the extra mile to help them all. Now is the time for
us to help by supporting him!”

For his part, McDaniel is perplexed by the accusations, telling the
Times-News: “I teach straight out of the textbook, I don’t include
anything that the textbook doesn’t mention. 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.”

“This sort of thing makes you worry about what you teach,” he added.
“That’s not right.”
