Think back to your childhood playground. Do you remember little Tommy pinching little Susie’s butt? Or little Sally chasing little Archie around to get a kiss? Do you remember little Joe flipping up girls’ skirts? Is it all just innocent child-play? Not according to a new study, it isn’t. The study from the American Association ...

The tragic suicides of five gay teens this month has Hollywood reacting to the epidemic of bullying. Unlike other attempts to lend star power to a cause, this one seems to come straight from the heart. Tim Gunn, from Project Runway, had the most emotional PSA.

Research in Australia has shown that “non-residential parents”, that is, mostly the divorced dads, don’t have enough involvement with their kids’ schools.

So, yet again, Morning Quickie is bringing you a censorship story from the concerned parents of America.
