Controversial School Assignments Spark Outrage Among Parents and Public
The Eugene School District 4J board addressed a controversial sex-ed assignment given at Churchill High School, which involved writing out a sexual fantasy involving props but no penetration, and said it was intended to show how one could experience physical love without sex. The district said students were allowed to opt out of the assignment, but parents were still outraged. The superintendent confirmed that the assignment was pulled directly from the 'Our Whole Lives' sexuality education course for grades 10-12, but said it was not recommended to be delivered again. Some board members issued their own apologies to parents in the audience that their students had to endure those particular assignments.
