- A Las Vegas mom is going viral on social media and making national headlines this week for confronting the school board. Kandra Evans said that her 15-year-old daughter was given a pornographic homework assignment. According to reports, Evans' daughter was required to memorize the pornographic content and then recite it to the class. At the meeting, the CCSD board members asked Evans to stop reading the material that was given to her daughter due to explicit language. (KTNV 13 Action News Las Vegas)
