"MIDDLE SCHOOL’S ANTI-BULLYING ACTIVITY: GIRLS ASKED TO KISS GIRLS"

From the Illinois Review:

. . . School administrators . . . held a bullying-prevention workshop for students at Linden Avenue Middle School during which the college facilitators asked girls to kiss girls. 

When confronted by angry parents who were not notified ahead of time about this activity, Principal Dr. Katie Zahedi claimed that “the sessions were…about saying no to unwanted advances….In planning the discussion, we made it clear that absolutely no discussion of any sexual acts is appropriate to middle school, and they used the examples of a kiss….It was…ultimately about respect and safety.” . . .

Here is a marginally related story.
