Jacksonville, Florida Teacher Suspended After Shocking Sex Ed Demonstration
The School, which is located in Duval County, five minutes outside of Jacksonville, FL, is occupied by over 200 students, and teaches grades 5 to 9.
The
disciplinary action occurred after several photographs of Ms. Mercer’s
questionable demonstration was posted onto the popular imagesite, imgur.
The pictures, taken with a student’s cell phone, clearly depict Mercer
mimicking lewd gestures of questionable legal, ethical and educational
value.
In an email exchange with 'Modern Woman Digest', Sandra
Mercer insisted that her suspension was an act of bigotry, and a step
back for gay rights in the workplace.
“It’s sick” said Nancy
Watts, mother of two, and long time resident of Duval county. “I went to
this very same elementary school when I was a little girl. There were
never any sort of these nasty classes back then. If a teacher had done
something like what Ms. Mercer did, they would have been locked up in
the county jail.
From
the comments: I live in the area of Jacksonville and heard about this
on the local news. What is wrong with people? There’s just no way this
is appropriate. I hope they run her out of town and she never works
again.
