From a teacher standpoint, parents should ALWAYS be concerned about what there kids are taught and voice out their concerns in a timely and appropriate manner to the proper school authorities (Minister, the board, principal or teacher.)

I'm wondering why the parent who found that crap on the wall didn't remove it themselves. If I walked into my kids school and saw that, it would be gone...

My wife and I are actively engaged in the various parent councils for our kid's schools. There has a been lot of discussion lately about a new grading system they are using. The other parents that we know are all concerned about this new system. Few of them profess to even understand it. Yet, when given the opportunity to voice their concerns and ask questions, only 4 (yes, 4) out of the roughly 700 parents in that school bothered to show up for the meeting.

It's little wonder that wayward agendas have free reign in our schools when parents are providing little to no oversight.

HOLY FARG!!! I can only imagine what my Mom or Dad would have done if this had been on the wall when I was in Grade 7. Or other parents for that matter. There would have been some hell raised.

This is bordering on corruption of minors. No wonder these libs are OK with child molesters running free. They're all messed up themselves.


Enjoy the decline.

Disappointing to say the least. No doubt the teacher that put it up is a buddy to his or her students instead of an authority figure.

I would be surprised if this was the action of a single teacher. This sounds like something that is part of the school district. Regardless, anyone even slightly involved in this brain aneurysm should be fired and have their teacher certificate revoked. That is totally sick to post anywhere let alone in a school.

Wow! Let the gays do what they please, heck offer councilling to young people who happen to be gay.
But that is way over the line and way to young of age group to be advertising that kind of stuff.
Wow!

What the hell is going on. Private schools and private health care seems to be the way to go.

If I saw this poster in a class room regardless if I had a child attending that class I would rip it down and make sure the teacher paid the price. If it was up there for 7 months the principal would be looking for a job along with the teacher. I would do my best to make sure they were not working with kids either. Scrubbing toilets sounds like good work for these kind of people. Perhaps a quiet meeting with the teacher after school hours in a dark part of the school yard would be appropriate.

Teachers getting canned for giving zeros , while this poster hangs for 7 months unchecked. Yup, time to be concerned.

If I went directly to the source of that poster to view it I'd be violating my company's IT policy, and given that I'm an adult I'm pretty sure it's not appropriate for kids.

ooops, sorry. I see we are well past that. LOL

Teacher is suspended -- possibility the principal is on the hot seat too.

Doesn't say.

Anyway. When even the AIDs awareness group that makes the poster says it was inappropriate for schools -- then it is.

The poster was intended to be posted in gay bars and bath houses -- not middle school classrooms.
