Where's the Story?

A female author who graduated from an all-girl Catholic high school near Milwaukee in the early 1990s publishes a racy book about three sexually-active girls at an all-girl Catholic high school near Milwaukee in the early 1990s. The author's alma mater and the fictional school have similar names. The school's response? It sent a letter to parents, telling them that administrators would field any questions that arise as a result of the book. It didn't ban the book. Sounds like a reasonable and measured reaction by school administrators, but this smarmy newspaper story finds it amusing. Chesterton observed that any stick is good enough to beat Catholicism with. This story doesn't even qualify as a "stick," but the reporter uses it anyway to poke the school.
