Slut Bashing

We were saddened to see in a recent New York Times that Leora Tanenbaum's book Slut! Growing Up Female With a Bad Reputation, hasn't stopped slut bashing in high schools.  The Times reports:

The principal of Millburn High, New Jersey’s top-ranked high school, says it has gone on for a decade: annual hazing by senior girls who create a “slut list” of incoming freshmen for the first day of school.

If this type of hazing is going on at Millburn, we know it must be going on everywhere.  Contact us at jenandamy@soapboxinc.com to book Leora to talk to students about this issue.
