HILLIARD, Ohio – An Ohio teacher has been suspended after giving students an online “Moral Foundations Test” that included questions about incest.
Sarah Gillam, 35, gave students the 36-question, online quiz that is designed to rank a person’s moral or political leaning, according to WSYX. Most of the questions are innocuous, but a few dealt with incest.
A reporter read some of the questions to parents – and got shocked responses.
Some examples of the questions include:
- “Using both a condom and a pill, a brother and a sister decide that they want to sleep with each other — just once, to see what it would be like.”
- “Sarah’s dog has four puppies. She can only find a home for two of them, so she kills the other two with a stone to the head.”
- “A man kills a baby rabbit with a knife” on a live TV show.
A parent reacted, “Oh my gosh! Ok. Ok. No! I would absolutely not let my college son… That’s… No,” the woman told WSYX.
She read a second question to another parent. “A man orders a custom-built sex doll designed to look just like his niece…”
“That’s just sick! Sick!” the man responded.
The Hilliard City School District released the following statement:
“Last night we were made aware of a classroom activity that should never have taken place. We absolutely share the outrage of our parents and community. In consultation with our legal counsel we have put this teacher on administrative leave while we complete our internal investigation. It is important to understand this was an isolated incident and an activity of this nature would never be considered acceptable. On behalf of the District we would like to apologize to the students and families involved in this situation.”
