This is not really a legal question, but a question best answered by school teachers and school administrators. I'll give it my best shot as a non-expert in this area. I'd say it depends on the age of the student, the setting in which the statement was made, the general attitude and culture of the class being taught, and the context surrounding the statement. In many settings, I'd say it is not inappropriate. It is certainly not illegal, which is all I'm professionally qualified to render an opinion on.
