UM: Homework Assignment Asks 8th Graders To Write About Herpes, One-Night Stands.

A New Jersey school district is facing backlash after an eighth-grade teacher gave her pupils an assignment to consider what they would do if they got drunk, had a one night stand, and contracted herpes . . .

When Loper contacted the school to complain, she was reportedly told the assignment is part of the core curriculum that ties into a book students were given titled The 7 Habits of Highly Effective Teens. . . .

The biggest point of contention was drawn from the fact that the material was not being taught in a sex ed class, but a language arts class.

Why would it suddenly be okay in a sex ed class?
