It's Not Your Mother's School Paper

A reader sent me an article talking about the student newspaper at Hellgate High School.  She asks a good question....who would name their high school "Hellgate"?  I wonder who their mascot is that runs around at halftime football games?

Anyway, that was just a side bar....the interesting info is what was published in the HIGH SCHOOL STUDENT NEWSPAPER...and this happened in Montana??  I thought that was God's country...where hunting, fishing, football, church and apple pie were what everyone did.  Dang it!!

The Valentine’s Day issue of the Hellgate Lance student newspaper, in which one writer extoled the virtues of pornography and another urged classmates to experiment with bisexuality, has drawn the ire of parents and forced Principal Russ Lodge to apologize for its content.

In an essay titled “In Defense of Pornography,” one student wrote that watching pornography is largely a healthy form of sexual expression for men, women and teenagers. She also suggested that mildly violent pornography is mere innocuous “fantasy.”

The article also included addresses to free pornographic websites and told students how easy it is to bypass their age restrictions.

In another brief editorial, a female student urged those lonely and bored on Valentine’s Day to consider experimenting sexually with students of the same gender. Other stories shared students’ sexual fantasies and included graphic descriptions of sex acts.

Yes...this seems to be a good idea...let's give porn sites to a bunch of high school kids and suggest they experiment with homo sex if they are bored on Valentine's Day.

Friends...can you even imagine anything like this being in a school paper 20 years ago?  We didn't even have the Internet so Internet porn had yet to be invented.  But even if we did...would your school have let you publish this?  We are losing all sense of shame in this nation.

Seriously, judgment can't be too far behind when morals and shame have vanished.
