Provincetown Schools in Massachusetts have announced that they will give out condoms to students who ask for them. This policy apparently will apply to all students in the K -12 system. Parents will not be informed of any giveaways, but the students will receive counseling and education about sex.
Considering the overall lousy job that the nations' schools are doing, that is not much of a comfort. But you must understand that, in American education today, it is much more important that schools be socially aware and active than it is to actually deal with teaching our kids reading, writing, and math. Why teach anything, when the youngsters will only lose their lives to casual sex, disease, and debauchery?
Such crass ideas not only fail to respect the students as human beings with free will capable of knowing the wrong from the right and able to behave accordingly, they disparage the average parent as ignorant of what is best for their children. How dare anyone in any field, let alone such a powerful one as education, harbor such blanket and unfounded feelings about moms and dads as a group? Who are these folks, who only see each individual child a few hours a day (if that) that they can know better than that child's parents what is best for the kid? They clearly bring their preconceptions to the field, applying them irreverently to any and all, because, after all, they're the professionals, thank yew very much. You're merely the parents.
This is public education today, friends. Insulting and impudent. But when we pay for teachers yet get social engineers, what do you expect?
