Links below to the Palmdale case and relevant Supreme Court precedent, etc.

Note that this whole thing was started by the school's mental health counselor. Seems to me that various types of youth counselors in schools, churches and civic agencies are filled with perverts. If I offend any of these "Dedicated" professionals who are only doing it for the children, STFU!
