I cancelled Glamour at the end of last year. I replaced it with Sassy and YM. Only one student has even missed it. It's that old censorhip/selection thing again. My feeling is that sex information can be acceptable, but not instruction - the "how-to's". Glamour appeared to me to meet the information needs of sexually active young women, and I know many of our students are but I don't want to encourage it. They grow up too soon and too fast. I have less conflicts with sexual material in fiction, because the sexual content is part of a story, complete with character development and, usually, consequences - part of a bigger picture. And no lurid headlines.
