Condoms For First Graders?

[Chico23231]

There should be an age limit. Anyone who would give a condom to a first grader should be fired.

But that raises the question, which is the appropriate age? When does sex ed begin in school these days..5th, 6th grade? Make the condom availible to middle schooler then...its really not that hard of a problem to solve

It is when concerned parents have to battle liberals in the education system who want to expose kids to homosexuality and any religion OTHER than Christianity, it's nearly impossible.

It's no shock that t-shirts of a horrible human being Che Guevera are so popular with teens these days, they're not being taught who he really was. He's being built up as some hero in the warped version of history being taught in an attempt to get the kids on "their" side.

You're so warped it's laughable.

Coming from someone who thinks like you, that's a badge of honor.

Get your head out of the sand...school have an agenda far more expansive than teaching math and grammar.

I've seen it first hand with my local school district, where the ACLU came in and forced the school to change their science curriculum against the will of 98% of the parents...simply because the school was teaching that evolution was a THEORY and not proven fact. TWO atheist parents were "offended" and called ACLU lawyers.

Schools are for learning. Homosexuality and religions other than Christianity are truths. If you really do support teaching the truth -- and not brainwashing -- then it seems to me that you would support teaching any truth. Apparently not. You look to be exactly what you are preaching against.

So then why can't we teach BOTH Christianity and Islam? Creationism and Evolution side by side?

Why not teach everything and let the students form their own informed decisions?

This is NOT happening...certain principles are being silenced, by curricula and lawsuits, while others are being actively pushed. Revisionist history is alive and well.

I'd prefer if schools taught everything...more rather than less...BUT this is not happening, they're trying to shape students' opinions to agree with them rather than being a place of free learning and informed decisions.

You can't really disagree with that.

Meanwhile the Chinese are pumping out engineers like hot cakes at a fraction of the cost.

I don't know about y'all, but I learned what it was all about working on farms as a kid. I mean you see animals screw all day long? No big deal. Maybe they should just take a field trip to a farm? It would be much cheaper and they could say, "Hey we're just trying to educate the children about the Planet". Problem solved.

Why is it the business of schools to give kids rubbers? It's not their job to protect children from STDs. Here's an idea, segregate the sexes at school, and they'll not screw.

I'd dig ditches before I'd send me kid to a public school.

I doubt that they even stocked the elementary schools with them. It has to be done by request through the school nurse. What 1st grader is going to go to the school nurse to request a condom?

More Fox News flipping out over bullshit.

I have had the news on this weekend < all of the locals > as well as Fox News , not once did I see this issue discussed , so how do you assume that Fox is " fliiping out again " ? The flipping out mantra was also used when covering Judges giving light sentances for raping children The Judge Cashman Story (gives 60 days for child rapist in Vermont) ... Vermont Cynic - Vermont Judge Sentences Convicted Child Rapist to 60-day Sentence ... of course Fox News got attacked for covering this case also .

Yup, more Fox News flipping out over BS.

Condoms for Kids: Provincetown, Massachusetts Offers Counseling to Children, and Courts Controversy - ABC News

It was a FOX affiliate in Boston, not FOX News that ran the initial story. And if it was no big deal why did the school board get swamped with complaints and "revisit" their policy? Provincetown is a progressive area and the locals had no issue with the policy. As far as I'm concerned their public school policy is their business, public schools are a local matter.

However, there's no way condoms should be provided by the school to any children in elementary school. Middle school and high school, there should always be parental consent. Sex Ed, fine as long as it is age appropriate and there's a parental option to opt-out.

When the police come knocking on the school superintendent's door and not mine for something my kid did, or when my son gets someone pregnant the school district will provide all the necessary financial support to raise the child, or when the school district can figure out a way to bring my kid back from the dead if he died of an STD, then they can give him condoms without my consent. Until he's an adult he's my responsibility, not the school districts or state's, and that being the case no one in my school district will give him anything without my consent.

And so you continue the cycle of hyperbole. Nice.
