What are schools teaching their students about sexual harassment?

Article Abstract:

A sexual harassment suit brought against a Monroe County, GA, school board underscores the lax way by which school administrators and teachers handle complaints of sexual harassment in the campus.

The suit, which is now before the US Supreme Court, should give notice to school officials that not all cases of sexual harassment in grade and high schools are just teasing and child's play.
