You mean like the "banana and condom" exercise? Something like that?

No, I mean fisting, something like that. A frank discussion of sexual activity between adults and youing teens, between whom the actual potential for sex exists, is something that needs to be very carefully monitored. There is no way such activity should be conducted out of the public eye. The potential for abuse (i.e. recruitment, solicitation, and even coercion) is too great.

Parental proxy... MOST American parents (AND students) WANT sex education in schools; and MOST American parents (AND students) want the so-called "controversial" topics covered.

This wasn't in a school. More red herrings.

As an educator, I'm also in loco parentis. But you can be damn sure if I use my authority to ask female freshman students whether they're wearing underwear, I will be (and should be) hauled before a court of law.

Parents do not have carte blanche to hand their kids over to others.

(Incidentally, Camenker wants an "opt-IN" for sex ed... he's not satisfied with an opt-OUT.)

Makes sense to me.

We're off the real issue here; which is the use of the justice system to punish individuals whose only crime is to let the public know what was going on in a sex-ed. workshop. In any other circumstances, the liberal establishment would be fully in Camenker's corner.
