Oregon dad sues to ban Channel One from schools - eSchool News staff and wire service reports

Channel One, the satellite network beamed into middle and high school classes around the country, would be banned from schools in a Portland, Ore., school district under a lawsuit brought by a father who objects to two minutes of commercials shown during class time. Gary Boyes says the 12-minute television segments are aired each day to a wide-eyed audience of students trapped in their classrooms, and include ads for snack foods, soft drinks, and movies.
