I totally believe that sexual harassment occurs in schools and continues
through out adulthood because children do not get healthy sex ed, basic
equity ed and respectful relationship ed in school. Of course media piles
on the garbage that kids learn instead. But it starts with what kind of

the same old, same old from the past. This is how we got in the horrendous
social mess we are in today.

Perhaps enough lawsuits will turn the tide and get us the education we
