PC Police Target Middle and High School Students

"The PC police are at it again. According to a sympathetic Associated Press report on November 7 and a survey conducted by the American Association of University Women, “sexual harassment is pervasive in grades 7-12.” Such improprieties are taking place “in person or electronically via texting, email and social media,” and those issuing and summarizing the report think that the offenses are serious enough to require political action. Harassment, by the way, includes “having someone make unwelcome sexual comments” and “the taunting of youth perceived to be gay or lesbian.” A spokeswoman from the National Women’s Law Center explains that the “ultimate goal” in the crusade against harassing speech “should be to deter hurtful student interactions however they are defined.”"
