Students Told to Use Pizza Toppings As Metaphors For Sex
My pizza would have no toppings. None. đ
I guess people should be taught about sexual consent (which was presumably one of this assignment’s goals) – but this seems… a little inappropriate? And maybe that should be taught by the parents at home.
Can’t the concept of consent be taught without pressuring each student to list their sexual preferences? That seems to be pushing things.
As I read this further, it does say that students who sort of want to opt out of this can draw a non-sexual related image.

Students at a Connecticut middle school were reportedly instructed to use âpizza as a metaphor for sexâ and asked to cite their favorite toppings â including cheese for âkissingâ and olives for âgiving oral.â
The eighth-graders at John F. Kennedy Middle School in Enfield received the âPizza and Consentâ assignment, which compared ordering a pizza to receiving consent, Fox News reported.
âWe can use pizza as a metaphor for sex,â the assignment said, according to Parents Defending Education.
âWhen you order pizza with your friends, everyone checks in about each otherâs preferences, right? Some people might be vegan, some might be gluten-free. Others might love pineapple, while others prefer pepperoni,â it said.
âSome might not like pizza at all. If youâre a vegetarian, your friend is a meat lover, sharing a pizza is going to bring up a lot of issues. You donât know who you can share a pizza with unless you ask!â it continued.
âThe same goes with sex! You have to check in with your partner(s) and ask for their preferences. Your partner(s) might be comfortable with one sexual activity, but not another,â the instructions stated.
âSo start a conversation! Itâs the only way sex (and pizza) can be comfortable and enjoyable for everyone,â it insisted.
The bizarre assignment then continued on another page, under the headline âPersonal Pizza.â
âFor those of yaâll who donât like pizza or sex at all, feel free to draw out another food favorite or include non-sexual activities,â it added.
Schools Superintendent Christopher Drezek said during a school board meeting Tuesday that the assignment had been sent âinadvertentlyâ to the students, Fox News reported.
âThe simple truth was it was a mistake. And I know that there are some who may not believe that. I know there are some who donât necessarily maybe want that answer,â he told parents.
âIn this particular case, I didnât even get a chance to because the person who made the mistake jumped ahead of it before I was even notified that it had happened,â Drezek said.
He said that while the assignment was âinappropriate,â there was no âhidden agenda.â
âThere was no secret cabal to indoctrinate kids on something. They sent the wrong document,â Drezek added. âSo thatâs what happened. And none of us are happy that it happened.â
Teacher Brie Quartin, the districtâs health and physical education coordinator, took the blame for the imbroglio.
âThe incorrect version, as opposed to the revised version of this assignment, was mistakenly posted on our Grade 8 curriculum page, and was inadvertently used for instruction to Grade 8 Health classes,â Quartin wrote in an email to parents, according to Parents Defending Education.
âI caught the error after our curriculum revision in June but failed to post the intended version. I own that, and apologize for the error,â she wrote.
Quartin explained that the correct version of the assignment was for âstudents to work in small groups to craft a pizza with toppings (no behaviors associated with said toppings) that would make everyone happy/comfortable using non-verbal communication only.â
âStudents are then asked to reflect and discuss how thoughts or feelings can be confusing or miscontrued [sic], if we rely on non-verbal cues/communication alone. The parallel to be taught here is that when discussing pizza topping it is important that your preferences are clearly communicated to avoid any misunderstanding,â she added.
Parent Tracey Jarvis told NBC Connecticut: âThis assignment is prompting kids to become sexually active before their time.â
