EAU CLAIRE, Wis. -- Some parents of middle school students in Eau Claire are complaining about a teacher's decision to talk about her sexual orientation during health classes.
School district officials confirm South Middle School teacher Stephanie Rowe told her five health classes last week that she is gay.
Parent Karen Peikert says Rowe is an outstanding teacher, but shouldn't be discussing her sexual preference with her students. Peikert says Rowe should stick to the curriculum.
Parents were also concerned about a folder of questions given to the 125 students, which some thought were too graphic.
Interim Deputy Superintendent Gregg Butler says the matter will be reviewed and recommendations will be forwarded to the district's human growth and development advisory committee.
