Student Talks About Condoms on National TV

Got this from ArcaMax News, can't find a confirmation or contradiction.

LOS ANGELES (UPI) -- A New Mexico teenager who balked at tasting flavored condoms in her ninth grade sex education class has been invited to appear on a CBS talk show.

Producers for "The Larry Elder Show" flew the unidentified teenager and her mother, Lisa Gallagos, to Los Angeles Wednesday to talk about the situation on the program, the Santa Fe New Mexican reported.

The controversy centers on a state Health Department employee who taught a sex ed class at Santa Fe High School and encouraged students to taste flavored condoms.

When Gallagos' 15-year-old daughter refused to put the condom into her mouth, Tony Escudero reportedly said "Come on, sweetie, have a little fun."

When a male student said he found sex between two men repulsive, Escudero allegedly said, "Someday you might like it that way."

After The New Mexican reported the incidents in July, the state's health department investigated and found no wrongdoing on the part of Escudero.
