Organize, Usurp, Parental


Mrs. Davidson had asked for the meeting with Principal Skinner about the 8th grade Health class curriculum. She was concerned about a recent class discussion about sexually transmitted infections. As a mom, she said, she didn’t think an 8th grader should be exposed to chlamydia. And the principal said that he felt the same way, which is why class discussions talk about sex and the repercussions, including health risks of having unprotected sex. Mrs. Davidson didn’t understand that the principal was being clever with his language.

Mrs. Davidson vowed to organize a protest against having her parental authority being usurped.
