Seminole: Teacher showed wooden genitals
A Lyman High teacher faces firing because she made inappropriate and embarrassing comments to students and showed and talked to them about a "wooden object that represented male genitals," the Seminole County school district said Wednesday. Danelle J. Michaud could have her employment with the school district terminated Tuesday by the Seminole County School Board. The board suspended her without pay last month.
Superintendent Walt Griffin recommended Michaud be fired last month, citing a long record of prior discipline problems and conduct that violated rules for professional conduct and ethics. Michaud had been reprimanded, warned and even fined repeatedly dating back to 1986, district documents show.
Most of the incidents involved "inappropriate or demeaning language to students." The state yanked her teaching certificate for a year in 1991 and fined her $1,000 in 2009. Michaud has worked for Seminole schools for 31 years. In addition to accusations she'd used "inappropriate language" in her classroom, Michaud was also accused in the past of using profanity in front of students, making derogatory comments about other school staff members and leaving students unsupervised.

... to 9th graders, I tried to expose them to some of the natural history/flora and fauna of the Northwest.
Berries, birds, trees... all like that.
I brought in a geoduck clam (pronounced gooey-duck) and showed the kids how to skin the neck and slice it and eat it raw (Yum! the Japanese pay top $ for them).
One suburban mom complained that the kids were scandalized because the clam neck looks like a penis.
In the principal's office, I just stared at her. When she was done, I just said "It's a clam." The principal cracked up and the woman was furious. I'm sure she ranted for years about how the "secular humanists" were exposing her darling to porn... clam porn, at that.
