Would you take your kids out of this drama club?

My son has done drama club since he was in elementary school and loved it. He's going into his sophomore year if high school but his high school drama teacher makes me uncomfortable, and his dad and step mom uncomfortable with the exercises he has the kids to and there are so many sexual innuendos the plays they've put on. One of my son's close female friends quit because one of the exercises she had to shove a banana in her mouth and it made her uncomfortable and their teacher didn't listen to her feelings so she quit. My son told me he was talking to his friends about the quiet on set documentary and his teacher referred to it as "propaganda" and those former child actors are just "ungrateful". The last play they put on was written by the drama teacher and I along with many other parents had an issue with all the sexual innuendos. I understand an adult joke here and there they may go over kids head, but in the play there's a part where a bunch of boys get shirtless and dump water on another. It's hard to explain it but was clearly sexual. The joke was clearly a porn thing. He did send an email apologizing and I think that's only because we all made a stink to the principal. I've spoken with my son's dad and step mom and I'm just not comfortable with this club anymore. There is community theater in our area. I think my son may really like it honestly because it's more professional than high school theater. We just feel uncomfortable about everything.
