The Kids Know More Than You Give Them Credit For Knowing

I know about parental rights and school responsibility, but it's still a little weird to me when complaints prompt a high school to apologize for a video about consent for sex because it shows same-sex couples making out. The video, shown by a visiting counselor, was unapproved by the school board, so it probably needed to be cleared first, and it was shown in an AP Literature class, which is, okay, a little odd, but if the complaint is centered on the same sex stuff, someone really needs to inform the parents and administrators that high school kids a) know all about that stuff, b) aren't fazed by it (other than the one student who complained), and c) aren't going to suddenly "turn gay" just because they saw it in a video. Everyone forgets what it's like to be a teenager as soon as they turn into adults. (WFLA-TV/Tampa)
