DIETRICH A Dietrich science teacher is being investigated by the states professional standards commission after a complaint from parents over his teaching methods.
Tim McDaniel is being investigated after a complaint was filed by a handful of parents who objected to how McDaniel taught the reproductive system, Dietrich Superintendent Neil Hollingshead said.
It is highly unlikely it would end with his dismissal, Hollingshead said. Maybe a letter of reprimand from the school board.
According to McDaniel, four parents were offended that he explained the biology of an orgasm and included the word vagina during his lesson on the human reproductive system in a tenth-grade biology course.
I teach straight out of the textbook, I dont include anything that the textbook doesnt mention, McDaniel said. But I give every student the option not attend this class when I teach on the reproductive system if they dont feel comfortable with the material.
