A Florida teacher has been suspended after demonstrating how to use sex toys to a class of young pupils.

 

Sharon Mercer came in for harsh criticism after photographs emerged of her, fully clothed, wearing a strap-on dildo while demonstrating to her class of 11 to 12-year-olds.

 

The substitute teacher was suspended after the photos were uploaded to social media by an unidentified student.

 

The school in question, Clinton Elementary School, have yet to officially comment on the incident but have issued a letter of apology to the parents of the students in the class.

 

The school’s authorities also assured parents that the offending material would be removed from their sex education programme going forward.

 

Speaking after the incident, Ms Mercer – who identifies as a bisexual – insisted that she did nothing wrong and that her students left the classroom more enlightened than they had been before the lesson.

 

An outraged Mercer also put her suspension down to bigotry on the school authorities’ part.

 

Do you think the authorities were justified in their actions?
