Condoms for First Graders? June 24, 2010 The school board in Provincetown, Massachusetts voted unanimously on June 8 to provide free condoms to elementary school students, whether their parents approve or not. Under the policy, even first graders can ask for the condoms. The policy requires that students speak to a school nurse or other trained counselor before receiving a condom and they don't have to tell their parents. This law firm condemns this policy, the people who passed it, and the agenda behind it. We agree with the Massachusetts Family Institute statement saying: "Making condoms available to first graders bullies parents to submit to an agenda that promotes sexual promiscuity to innocent children at their most vulnerable age. The Provincetown school committee's decision to force this radical and absurd policy demonstrates the lengths to which some will go to emasculate parents' rights and undermine the notion of encouraging children to delay sexual activity.” The Institute's president called the school board's policy “absurd” and suggested parents file suit to overturn the policy. This office also agrees with that. What do you think?
