No you are definitely NOT overreacting

That was an incredibly inappropriate and insensitive thing for the teacher to say (and do). You have every right to be steaming mad.

However....if it were me, I would calm down and talk to the teacher and determine exactly what was said, exactly what the policy is, etc. I would not let the teacher know what my opinion was, one way or the other. If things are indeed the way they seem, I would go straight to the school superintendant and make a complaint.

The reason I wouldn't say anything to the teacher is that it would give him/her a heads-up and s/he could try to cover it up and/or intimidate the class into silence.

JMHO.

I think your ex is overreacting a bit
All that your son can do is just be sure to wash his hands frequently as someone else had said. I think that your ex is totally overreacting about this. I mean, it's good that he cares about his son, but there is really nothing that the school can or will do about this, other than encourage the kids to wash their hands, etc. Pulling him out of school is not the answer, and is not fair to your son, in my opinion.

I do not think you are overreacting at all. . .
He sounds like he is very young and immature. I have a problem with people who are not willing to help, especially when it is family. It sounds like you did a lot of the work already. Does your daughter know how you feel? If so what is her opinion? It does not sound like he is putting his best foot forward for a good start to this relationship either with you, or with your daughter. Best of luck to you.

Husband so disrespectful (in & out of bed) am I overreacting? sm
I don't know if this will be removed - if it is inappropriate, I'm sorry, but I want to be able to ask anonymously. I am not a prude and I don't think there is anything bad about two people in love having some really good sex - but my husband is so disrespectful - he is just disgusting to me. He is very active in church and well thought of but with me he is just rude and disgusting. We have not been getting along well for a long time so I have not wanted to have sex with him - I keep asking him to work on how he treats me first, and he keeps saying he'll treat me better if I have sex with him, so we have been at a gridlock for months now. Yet he comes in and at night and wants to mas*****te, grabbing at me and saying really repulsive things to me at the same time. When I am sitting and trying to work he comes and does rude things as well - things that might be okay if we had any kind of relationship, but we don't. We have been on the verge of divorce for about a year but he keeps asking me to stay. Yet, rather than working on a relationship with me, he wants to act like this. It makes me want to leave so bad. I feel almost abused, even though that probably sounds silly. I keep asking him to stop acting that way but he does it anyway. Am I overreacting?
