But it was uttering the word "masturbation" that finally did her in. Speaking of which, I just learned from a student member of her school district's reproductive health advisory committee that Michigan law forbids mention of "masturbation" (though it's unclear whether euphemisms are acceptable), mandates that abstinence until marriage be promoted as the best approach, and requires a representative of the clergy be a member of the advisory board (so much for separating church & state!).
Does anyone know if this sort of idiocy prevails in other states?
