Q: An Idaho high school teacher under fire for killing and skinning a rabbit in front of his students to demonstrate how animals are processed for food has apologized to children disturbed by the incident, a school official said on Friday. 
  
 The part-time teacher is a farmer who raises rabbits and other livestock for food and was asked to provide a lesson on animal slaughter and processing by students in a 10th-grade biology class he taught at a high school in the Nampa School District near Boise, said district spokeswoman Allison Westfall. 
  
 School administrators were not consulted about the demonstration, which happened last week but came to light in recent days after a parent called the district to complain, Westfall said. 
  
 The teacher, whose name was withheld, expressed his regrets to students on Monday after one of them told educators the exercise, which entailed breaking the rabbit’s neck before butchering it, was upsetting, she said. 
  
 Killing and skinning animals is not part of the district’s 10th-grade biology curriculum, said Westfall, who added: “It’s not something that’s done in our schools.” 
  
 The teacher had once before been asked by students to show them how to slaughter and process a rabbit but had declined on that occasion, she said. He excused any students who didn’t wish to attend the class when the rabbit was killed and an unknown number did not participate, said Westfall. 
  
 She said the district, once a school system with mostly rural students but which has seen a rapid increase in enrollment and urbanization because of its proximity to Idaho’s capital city, expects teachers to consult with administrators on new lesson plans before executing them. 
  
 She declined to say if the teacher in question is facing penalties for his actions, citing confidentiality tied to personnel matters.

 NAMPA -- A 10th grade biology teacher apologized after a lesson last week aimed at teaching students where their food comes from left some feeling a little queasy. 
  
 "A teacher brought in a rabbit, and did a demonstration about how a rabbit would be prepared as food for a family," Nampa School District spokeswoman Allison Westfall said. 
  
 According to Westfall, the teacher placed the live rabbit in a restraining device, then snapped its neck in front of the class. The rabbit was also skinned and cut up as part of the demonstration. 
  
 Westfall says the educator, who has a farm and raises animals to be eaten, was initially reluctant to show the students how to prepare a rabbit for a meal. But when the students asked a second time, he relented, she said. 
  
 The killing was not mandatory viewing for the 16 biology students. 
  
 "The students had asked that the teacher do this demonstration, and when the rabbit was brought in, he gave the opportunity to students to not view the demonstration," Westfall said. 
  
 Some of the students who elected to stay were upset by the display, and the school got a handful of comments from parents who felt killing an animal in the classroom was ill-advised. 
  
 The teacher is now facing disciplinary action, although Westfall declined to specify whether he had been suspended from teaching. The district is also not releasing the educator's name. 
  
 "It's not appropriate in the 10th grade class," she said."It wasn't approved by the administration, it's not part of biology [class,] so that judgment is not appropriate for that type of lesson in the classroom at 10th grade."

A:
A high school science lesson got a little too graphic for some students and parents in Idaho: A 10th-grade biology teacher has apologized after bringing a rabbit into class, breaking its neck, and then skinning it in front of the class, reports KTVB. The teacher didn't clear the lesson in advance with the Nampa School District near Boise, and district officials have since called it inappropriate for 10th-graders. The teacher also happens to be a farmer who raises rabbits and other animals for food, and he gave students advance warning to leave if they wished, reports Reuters. “That is not part of the biology curriculum,” a spokesperson for the district tells the Idaho Statesman. She says the teacher, who faces unspecified disciplinary action, apologized to his Columbia High School class this week after complaints started coming in. The teacher says students had asked him more than once to demonstrate how a rabbit would be butchered, and he eventually agreed. Nampa was once a mostly rural district, but its proximity to Boise has changed that in recent years, says the spokesperson. (A teacher elsewhere is in hot water over her "Wheel of Misfortune" method of discipline.)
