What Will Be Done?

April 20, 2015


Dear Conejo Valley Unified School District Board,
and Dr. Jeff Baarstad,
and The Acorn Newspaper:

The February 2015 NPHS student magazine, “Let’s Talk About Sex,” is inappropriate for minors and should not have been approved by the CVUSD.  Parental review and consent was not obtained, as required by District sex education policy.  The photos and posters displayed on school grounds were inappropriate and put the District at risk for sexual harassment lawsuits, according to District policy.  Furthermore, students in the article encourage sexual activity but the article does not sufficiently educate minors of the many possible risks of premarital sex, with or without condoms.  Please refer to CDC.gov: “STD Prevention,” NLM.NIH.gov: “Teen Sexual Health,” and HHS.gov: “Statutory Rape Laws: California.”

What will be done by the CVUSD to ensure that our school journalism departments do not endanger students, nor sexually harass them, nor violate the right of parents to determine the sex education of their children?
