CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- A student at George Washington High School asked for an injunction in Kanawha Circuit Court against the school's principal Monday, after she alleges he threatened to call the college where she's been accepted and tell them she has "bad character" for speaking up against an abstinence-only assembly held at the school last week.

Katelyn Campbell, the school's student body vice president, refused to attend an assembly where Christian speaker Pam Stenzel told GW students "condoms aren't safe" and warned that any type of sexual contact would lead to sexually transmitted diseases and cause women to be infertile, according to an audio recording of her presentation.

In her YouTube videos, Stenzel shouts and says things such as women who take birth control are "10 times more likely to contract a disease . . . or end up sterile or dead." She allegedly told GW and Riverside students, "If your mom gives you birth control, she probably hates you."

Uff da!

2. Tennessee

already has a gateway sex bill, signed by the governor. Ohio is jealous and wants one too.

4. I hope the principal calls up Wellesley and tattles on Katelyn and they LAUGH at him!!!

They nurture assertive women that don't take any crap from anyone, especially sex-hating lying fundies and anti-education male principals.

Wellesley tweeted that they were delighted to welcome Katelyn this fall.

5. I hope the principal

loses his job for threatening her like that. I don't think it was his first time threatening a student. How can you get bullying out of schools when the school is lead by a bully? This time it backfired, big time.
