Did y'all catch last night's Eli Stone (3/27)? So the back story is that the main character is an attorney with a brain aneurysm that's basically inoperable, and he's been having vision of things, including George Michael. So Eli is a bit incredulous when George Michael actually shows up, in the flesh, wanting to hire Eli Stone.
The story this week is that a high school senior, I think, is unhappy with the fact that her school has an abstinence only education program because it gives students inaccurate information. The program includes a school assembly (with, according to the girl, an expert on not doing it). She's talked to principal about it before, but it's the only kind of sex-ed that is federally funded, so the principal can either have no sex-ed, or ab-only. In protest she sneaks into the school's office and plays "I Want Your Sex" over the loudspeaker, for which she is expelled.
George Michael hires Eli Stone to get her reinstated in school, and there's some sort of hearing and it's all fun and first amendment rights and protected speech, and how student speech is limited when it interferes with the learning process and then the girl says something like "that assumes that there's any learning going on" which was amazing. (I don't have the right media player, and I'm not installing it at work, so please correct me if I'm wrong). She says that she was personally affected by the ab-only education because her lab partner got pregnant and then her friend "got gonorrhea...in her mouth."
Then George Michael gives a little speech on how great America is but this ab-only thing is b.s. and then he gives a concert to raise money for a real sex-ed program in that school. Oh, and the school settles and lets her back in and stops taking money for the ab-only program.
