Thomasville Ledford High School drama teacher Bob Dye has been suspended with pay after the father of a 15-year-old female student raised questions about a survey asking sexual questions:
The two-page survey starts out with innocuous questions like ‘Do you consider yourself and extrovert or introvert?’ But towards the end of the questionnaire comes the five-question section labelled ‘sex.’
Among the racy questions the students were asked to answer were: ‘What form of seduction do you like the most?’ and ‘What’s the most sensual or sexual part about you?’
Other parents and students have rushed to Dye’s defense, saying –according to the Daily Mail —the student took the survey “out of context” and that Dye “told the students that they were not obligated to answer the sex-related questions.”
Doesn’t matter –no place for this in the classroom.

You’re exactly right! This was WAY out of line. What’s really scary are the parents who have jumped to his defense so quickly.
