Pacific Justice Institute officials said Tuesday that they plan to file an administrative complaint against Ventura High School for allowing students to participate in a campus newspaper sex survey without seeking parental permission.

Included in the 16-page edition were articles on sex and results of a survey taken by 1,000 random Ventura High students. The survey questions included ”Are you sexually active?” “Were you sober the first time you engaged in sexual activity?” and “What grade were you when you lost your virginity?”

What's in the news that's interesting?

Parent Julie Wilson, however, said “this isn’t about freedom of the press.”

“The real area of concern to us was the totality of this, including pages of sex articles, a sex crossword puzzle and other inappropriate things that suggest that some of their peers sitting in the classroom are sexually active,” Wilson said Tuesday. “It might lead them to think, ‘Am I the only one not having sex?’ ”

Her offspring is obviously a little angel. On which planet does she live?

As it turns out we have access to the paper through a BoF contributor.
If you want to see what the fuss is about, you can now read all about it.

That looks like a remarkably mature and well thought out paper, including the survey.
