Article here. I suspect absurd violence statistics are used to demonize the school boys. Excerpt:

'The Bonsall Women's Group is planning to start a dating and domestic abuse awareness program at Fallbrook Union High School.

The program, called Love is Not Abuse, would teach students about domestic and dating abuse. The program was developed by Liz Claiborne Inc., a clothing design and distribution company.
...
Fallbrook Union High School District Assistant Superintendent Jim Yahr said Thursday he has spoken with La Barge and that he's interested in looking over the materials to see if the program can be integrated into ninth-grade health classes, which currently include some discussion of date rape issues and how to maintain a healthy, respectful relationship.'

I remember being subject to a program very similar to this when in middle school. All the boys were brought in to the auditorium and made to listen to a female police officer tell us that women weren't to be hit, etc. The girls got to sit and have free time in class.

I didn't think anything about it then, but these days, if I heard that my sons were in such a thing, I'd ask when the girls would be subject to it as well. I mean, equality is equality, right?
