Quote From: kairsheaThat is why it is called a PUBLIC school...God should have no place in it.
There are many religions that go to PUBLIC schools...some believing in God, some not, some believing in another diety or none at all.
And kids aren't committing suicide because condoms are being distributed in schools. They are committing suicide because NO ONE IS TALKING ABOUT IT!!! (ie. where to go for help...what to do about the feelings that I am having...) School becomes a perfect place to address these issues because you can reach such a large number of students; however, parents must be involved too.
And it isn't like schools are GIVING condoms to every kid. They are available for students, but they are not pushed upon every child with the assumption that they will naturally be having sex because they are a teenager.
Education is KEY! Ignorance is not an excuse. "Just Say No" has been proven to fall on deaf ears. I think abstinance needs to be one part of sex education, along with other options for those students who will not follow that philosophy.
ARE YOU SERIOUS! GOD should have no place in public schools BUT condoms should!
As a parent of two small boys, I would like the opportunity to raise my child with my beliefs and if they are not allowed to pray aloud to God because they are in a public school, they should not be given condoms by this same school without my consent!
Why is it that our society is so willing to let others raise their children. If a public school wants to discuss sex education and tell kids what options are available to them that is one thing but to make condoms available should be up to the parents.
