The Minnesota Department of Education developed several puppet surrogate characters to teach elementary school children the multicultural virtues: Equality, the Frog; Respect, the Turtle; and Dignity, the Snail. Along with the puppets' positive message, the Department also issued guidelines warning the state's public school students—from kindergarten on up—not to engage in the following displays of sexually harassing behavior:

• Bragging about the length of one's penis.
• "Teasing other students about body development (either overdevelopments or underdevelopment)."
• "Depantsing," a.k.a., "spiking," defined as pulling down a student's pants or pulling up a student's skirt.
• "Displays of affection in hallways," on the grounds that such displays are "heterosexist."
