DUI suspect complained of 'big boobies'
BRADFORD ON AVON, England, April 5 (UPI) -- Parents complain that their 11-year-old children got a lesson in swear words at an English school.
The parents -- whose children attend St. Laurence School in Bradford on Avon in Wiltshire in southwest England -- said many of the youngsters were upset. They said they were given no warning of the lesson plan by the head teacher.
The children said the teacher wrote words on the board and had the children shout them out. The school said the goal of the lesson, part of a sex and relationship curriculum, is to rob profanity of its mystique.
"This is a total disgrace," a parent said. "Our children go to school to gain an education, not qualifications in swear words. Most kids had no idea what the words meant and were forced to grow up faster than their parents want. Heads should roll for this."
