slacker Posted February 12, 2007 Share Posted February 12, 2007 Irregular News for 02.12.07 Rockville, MD -- Counseling officials in Maryland are being heavily criticized for introducing a lesson to four different schools – in which students were supposed to chew and pass around the same piece of gum. The lesson was created by the Rockville (Md.) pregnancy counseling center in order to show students how easily sexually transmitted diseases are spread from person to person. A speaker from the counseling center asked students to chew the same piece of gum to see how many would be willing to do it. School officials say at least 100 students participated in the exercise, but not all of them chewed the gum. The county’s director of school health services called the lesson unsanitary and unacceptable. Many parents were also angered by the issue. School officials say employees from the counseling center will not be asked to speak to their students again in the future. source Quote Link to comment
