A Queens high school teacher has been barred from the classroom for giving explicit sex-ed lessons where he pretended to be a woman getting a gynecological exam, the Daily News has learned.
Education officials canned Grover Cleveland High School science instructor Dyrel Bartee, 53, after students complained about his raunchy demonstrations.
According to a report from the Special Commissioner of Investigation, Bartee reclined on his desk and opened his legs during a lewd presentation on childbirth in May 2011.
Then he touched his crotch and said: This is the doctors favorite part because they get to put their fingers inside their women patients, the report says.
Bartee then explained to his class that men like being doctors because they like to touch women, according to the report. He couldnt be reached for comment.
Education officials first learned of Bartees bizarre routine after a group of students reported his actions online.
When investigators visited his school, students told them that Bartee acted out several roles in his sex-ed lessons.
He played a woman giving birth, and a doctor catching the baby as it exited the womans uterus, they said.
To illustrate the effects of venereal disease, students told investigators, Bartee held his hands in his groin area and made an oohing sound.
Officials bounced Bartee to desk duty in November 2011, but he continued to draw his salary of $80,987 until he resigned in April.
He is no longer eligible for work in city schools.
One of Bartees former students told the Daily News that the ousted instructor is not fit to teach.
He was both boring and weird, said junior Laura Morón, 17, who witnessed the odd instruction last spring.
