The 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals recently dismissed a parent's lawsuit claiming they had exclusive rights to inform their child about sex. Imagine your kid is in elementary school in Southern California, and the school decides to survey first, third and fifth graders about sex. Albeit we're talking about So Cal, the test market for the children's books like 'Why Does Mommy Keep Changing Herself'? and 'You're Not Beautiful Until the Swelling Goes Down,' but this is a bit quick on the draw.
