Greed in (gasp!) the Senate, the undocumented life, a second opinion on executions, and other matters. ONLY IN AMERICA (Cont'd)
(FORTUNE Magazine) – Fourteen-year-old Astrianna Johnson . . . wanted to make a bold statement about the importance of safe sex. She pinned condom packs to her shoes and clothes at school. Her campaign got Astrianna suspended . . . after the principal at Bethune Middle School in South Central Los Angeles said the eighth-grader was not old enough to make statements about sex, according to a lawsuit filed in Los Angeles Superior Court . . . against the Los Angeles Unified School District . . . The lawsuit, filed by the American Civil Liberties Union, seeks to allow Astrianna to wear the sealed condom packages in class with ''safe sex'' written on them as a means to increase student awareness . . . Amos Dyson, the girl's ACLU attorney . . . said that Astrianna is expressing her views ''in a very discreet and subtle way.'' -- From a news report in the Los Angeles Times. |
