One day after Ash Wednesday marked the beginning of Lent, Thursday's CBS This Morning decided to make a resolved two-month old controversy at a San Francisco Catholic school a national news story. Co-host Norah O'Donnell teased the segment: "Controversy at American Catholic archdiocese. Elementary school students are given pamphlets with some blunt language on sex. It's just one of several disputes that's creating a new divide."
Introducing the report minutes later, O'Donnell proclaimed "This morning the archdiocese of San Francisco faces a rebellion in a Catholic elementary school. The issue is a pamphlet on morality....some parents say it was immoral for the school to distribute the handout."
