Assuming this is a public school, it's operated by the government and the teacher acts on behalf of the government.
The First Amendment still isn't going to help him, though.

That's what I thought. I don't have kids, but I thought that 10 was a bit young to understand sexual politics (if that is a correct "new" usage of the term).
As for telling the teacher off, the dad seemed amused by it. He seems so enthused about his "gifted" child that he fails to teach the kid basic respect.
