School officials apologize after Texas actress distributes materials mentioning sex-trafficking, abortion to kids



A presentation by Friday Night Lights and Northern Exposure actress Janine Turner upset some Southlake parents because their children were given material about sex trafficking and abortion.

The Tarrant County actress spoke at Eubanks Intermediate School for Constitution Day last week to discuss the U.S. Constitution and patriotism.

Turner is the founder of Constituting America, which she describes as a nonpartisan group aimed at promoting civic engagement and understanding of constitutional rights. But the organization promotes conservative ideas on its website and made a documentary about right wing voices being silenced or met with violence.

Southlake parents became concerned after learning that their fifth- and sixth-grade children were given copies of a political petition, as well as materials that discussed legislation about helping sex trafficking victims and limiting abortion funding. Others questioned Turner’s qualifications for educating students about the Constitution, noting it is a complicated document that legal scholars and lawyers often struggle to understand and apply to legislation and policy.
