A school in Cape Cod (Massachusetts) recently added a policy that allows elementary students to receive condoms without the knowledge of their parents. Granted these students would first be grilled by their guidance counselor and they would be "likely denied the condom," it still makes me wonder what these school officials are thinking.
I'm not a prude here or anything, but come on, the words "elementary students" and "condoms" should not be in the same sentence. Kids shouldn't be involved in the act of making kids. Period.
Think about it. Enough drama and complications can already arise from adolescents and adults who are doing it, what more with kiddies and their fragile emotions?
Besides, policies like this aren't protecting them, and no, they're not teaching kids to be responsible either. They're sending messages that nowadays, society is treating sex really lightly. Way too lightly.
Geez. If some people keep on giving children things that were once just for grown-ups, what is there to look forward to in adulthood?
