Teacher suspended for allegedly touching girl with banana - Wait, what?

Jonathan Hampton, a North Marion High School teacher, is accused of touching a female student on the head and neck area with a banana during a lecture about "cylinder objects, phalluses and/or sex symbols."

Click Orlando reports that a district spokesman said it seems the teacher was using the banana as a prop in his Freudian psychology lecture and said the discussion topic was district-approved, but the touching was inappropriate.

The district said the girl's parents complained because she felt embarrassed. And she wasn't alone. The district said other students felt the topics in his advanced class veered over the line with "excessive frequency, causing discomfort to many of your students," said the letter.

The school district suspended Hampton from his teaching job at North Marion High School after the student's parents complained, nearly three months after the incident.
