Provincetown Mass. School District Will Give Condoms to All Students, Including Elementary School Kids

Provincetown school district will make condoms available, even to elementary school children, usurping the role of parents.

As the parent of an elementary school student, the last thing I want the school to give my son is condoms. According to Fox News, a new policy in the Provincetown school district makes condoms available to all students, even those in elementary school. Sorry, but this goes too far.

Provincetown School Board Chairman Peter Grosso says because there is no set age when sexual activity starts, the committee decided not to set an age for condom availability.

Under the policy, any student requesting a condom from a school nurse must first receive counseling, which includes information on abstinence. The policy does not require the school to contact parents.

It seems that the school district is seeking to usurp the role of the parents and that is very troubling. This is just absurd and parents should speak up against this obvious intrusion in their roles as parents.
