Porn assignment receives low marks
A high school research assignment on Internet pornography was canceled after parents in Brooklyn, Ohio, complained. Superintendent Jeff Lampert said although the teacher's apparent goal --- to discuss the harmful effects of pornography --- was well-intentioned, he agreed with parents that the assignment was inappropriate for 14- and 15-year-old freshmen at Brooklyn High. The assignment asked students to research pornography on the Internet and list eight facts about pornography. Students also were asked to write their personal views of pornography and any experience they had with it.
