Athlete: Sex assault ed needed in high school

Connor Clancy plays on the defensive line at Colby College in Maine. He teamed up with a professor to put a petition on change.org. They want the National Federation of High School Associations to partner with an activist organization to develop a course for athletic coaches on sexual violence prevention. Tens of thousands of people have already signed it. On Raising America, Kyra Phillips talked with Connor about how he got involved.
