[Asia Economy Intern Reporter Kim Bong-ju] A teacher at a high school in Damyang, Jeonnam, asked students to bring condoms for a sex education class and said he would prepare a banana himself, but the class was canceled following complaints from parents.

According to the high school on the 6th, teacher A (in his 30s) asked first-year students in the technology and home economics class last week to prepare condoms to explain the unit on pregnancy and childbirth.

Teacher A then told the students that he would prepare a banana and demonstrate how to put on a condom in the next class.

The coeducational school has boys and girls assigned to the same class.

After parents heard about this, they called the school principal and the teacher to complain, and eventually, the teacher canceled the class.

The school principal said, "The teacher judged that detailed sex education would have educational effects but accepted the parents' criticism and canceled the class," adding, "As the principal, I will caution the teacher."
