Glee, the hit show about a high school Glee club, has very sharp claws, which is one reason kids like it so much. It is routinely, if hilariously, cruel (the sweet jock is described as so dumb, "he's cheating off a girl who thinks the square root of 4 is rainbows"). But no darker current--let alone motivation for parental monitoring--had occurred to me until I recently heard a bright, earnest youth minister tell a group of high school kids that he thought Glee was "anti-Christian...

He observed that the only self-identified Christian is the shiny blond Quinn, cheerleading president of the celibacy club, who is pregnant by one classmate but pretending the father is another.

...scandal with "New York party queen" Rachel Uchitel. It's rumored that Woods and his wife got into a fight over the matter that day. His wife scratched his face. He drove off in a hurry and his wife pursued him, hitting the car with a golf club. Woods turned around to look, lost concentration and the accident happened...
