Now, should parents also expect teachers to lie to their children? That's just ridiculous...

Well they could also say nothing. There's certain things a teacher should leave up to parents and not over step their boundaries. If telling kids the cold hard truth is always right and always appropriate, I suppose it would be perfectly ok for a teacher to tell a 1st grade class the truth about where babies come from or should that be left up to parents?
