Sexual harassment in schools

Incidence

A former female student at a Minnesota high school was awarded $15,000 settlement for mental anguish borne at school by daily exposure to vulgar graffiti in the toilets and verbal harassment by male students.

Claim

Boys and girls will never learn equal relationships unless they are told this is not appropriate.

Counter-claim

What may look like harassment is often just harmless adolescent exploration. Applying adult rules what many people consider teenage high jinks is an overreaction.
