A lesson on sex education at Croton-Harmon High School is being called vulgar and inappropriate by some parents. The controversary comes after a photo taken by a student in a health class for ninth and tenth graders began circulating among parents in the district.  The photo shows a white board with a list of sex acts, some of which are expletives.  A parent who did not want to be identified said the lesson made her school age teen uncomfortable.  "I just don’t think it belongs in a classroom,” the parent said. “I think there are other ways that you can use to teach these topics."
