Because of a much-discussed state law, administrative advisers for Colorado's school newspapers are only allowed to offer suggestions and guide staffers along, while the kids make the final decisions.
This may be why the state's Arapahoe High School was able to publish an edition of their paper devoted to teen relationships, i.e. promiscuous sex...
According a local NBC news affiliate, the most recent issue of the Arapahoe Herald was devoted to the subject:
"Player spills inside details," features the sexual escapades of a male student.
"I constantly [get sex] even though I have a girlfriend," said the boy who assumed the fictitious name of Trey Costanda. He is also quoted saying, "The easiest way to get girls is to get them drunk, but that's not right."
"First of all, why would you print that in the school newspaper?" 18-year-old senior Jeff Malaterre asked. "Parents could get upset at the school for publishing something like that."
The other controversial profile in the article featured the story of an openly promiscuous girl, who assumed the fictitious name of Marie Cullen.
"You have to give boys what they want," she said in the article, "My main weapons are my [breasts]."
Cullen also talks about having eight sexual partners and details her first sexual experience.
Cullen... Cullen? From where could this young lady have lifted her moniker? Hmmm...
Seriously, could it be that the abstinence theme of Stephanie Meyer's Twilight books has, like all abstinence "programs" and general grandstanding, backfired and turned teens into irresponsible sexual, well, vampires?
