Career of Teacher
Who Conducted
Survey Studied
Los Angeles -flIPD- The Cali
fornia teaching career of a?
high school teacher who con
ducted among his teen-age
students a "Little Kinsey" sex
survey was in the hands. of
the California board of educa
tion today. . '
Cecil Cook; 38, defended his
sex survey as "not harmful"
Wednesday at the closing of
the six-day hearing before a
department of pi ofessional
and vocational standards hear
ing officer.
But, he admitted, "I'm not
so sure I would again give the
questionnaire at all in light
of what has happened. I think
there were administrative
problems I didn't under
stand." '
Cook, charged with unpro
fessional conduct, said he now
realized a teacher's obligation
was "not to embroil the eom-
munity" in the type of furor
generated by his sex survey.
Not Damaged
"However, I don't feel the
students were damaged-unless
they came there already dam
aged," he said. .
Cook denied be had been
suspended from his teaching
post at Van Nuys High school
last February after the uproar
resulting from some students'
complaints on his sex .survey.
"It was upsetting the school,
students and teachers alike,
and I thought it proper to let
things cool off so I took a
leave of absence."
Cook said the question
naire, which contained quer
ies about intimate sex rela
tions, was answered by stu
dents anonymously and in
writing.
Some students during the
hearing testified they were
."shocked" by the sex survey
and thought it was "worth
less." But some teachers, par
ents and students said they
thought the survey was help
ful to students and probed an
area still obscured by super
stitions and old wives' tales.
The education board will
receive a report of the hear
ings and from it make its de
cision on whether to suspend
Cook's teacher's license.
