Condom distribution policy starting in elementary school at Provincetown, Mass.

Sex education starts early, especially if you go to elementary school in Provincetown, Mass.
That’s because the school committee has unanimously adopted a condom distribution policy beginning as early as first grade.
According to the Provincetown Banner, the program requires that students speak to a school nurse or trained counselor before receiving condoms.
The committee also directed school leaders not to honor demands from parents who object to their kids receiving protection.
Some members on the committee were wary because the program requires that students speak to school officials first.
But Beth Singer, the school’s superintendent, said she wanted to guarantee younger students get information on how to use condoms because there is no age limit.
“We’re talking about younger kids,” said Singer. “They have questions they need answered on how to use them, when to use them.”

Disgusting.

i don't see a problem with this. Birthrates among teens are high enough and if the school feels it needs to start early to get the common sense message across so be it. They aren't saying 'go have sex' but like it or not kids as young as 11 and 12 are having sex unprotected. Obviously the system of education is failing them so starting earlier may in fact help them make better decisions when hormones kick in.

Yes,it was Mitt Romney who came up with the idea to distribute condoms to school kids.Great point.By the way,perhaps you would like to do some research and tell me who planned parenthood gives campaign donations to,democrats or republicans?
Its democrats who support and give MILLIONS to planned parenthood.Incredibly planned parenthood,RUN BY LIBERALS,lost well over a billion dollars over the last few years.Didnt spend it,just lost it.I think that sums up libs very very well.And just in case you post one of your assinine "link" questions.

This is beyond outrageous! I can't believe no one in Mass. tried to take this to court. I'm sure it was probably slipped through when no one was looking. So glad people have become more vigilant these days.

::) This has nothing to do with teaching kids about "safety." ::) You don't give condoms to six-year-olds. One of the stupidest things I've ever heard.

Isn't it? How these people get in positions to make decisions that affect kids is beyond me.

If you are a far left nut like KC anything is ok. I'm sure he would be ok if they pulled down these kids pants and gave demonstrations. Hey why not right?
We truly are in a cesspool of filfth in this society with crap like this. And worse, you have people like KC thinking its ok.
God forbid they have to read the pledge of allegiance though or say "under God" - GASP WE CANT DO THAT!

Just a gigantic waste of money handing out something that will get thrown away 30 seconds after they leave the classroom. But hey, what's the USA without jerk-offs in positions of power spending money on useless shit? ::)

Way to blow things way off where they truly are. ::) I wouldn't expect anything less from you though 333 you live for the fear mongering and hyperbole. That's your MO.
This isn't a 'cesspool of filth' action, you only need to look at the ignorance when it comes to this issue to see the real 'filth' and it's not those teaching harm reduction, it's those preaching against it. All while their kids grow up without guidance and context idolizing sex tape celebs and slutty dressed singers. But hey educating kids early about an actual danger to their health and potentially their life is wrong, schools shouldn't teach they should preach right? ::)

Here you are with ZERO perspective and knowledge on the situation (it's rather easy to tell you see you're so out of touch with high schools i imagine you're still thinking they use a blackboard and chalk) and you want to give orders to those who are seeing the fall out of a lack of sexual ed.

No wonder we are producing the dumbest morons this nation has ever known. The schools are too busy teaching kids how to have sex.

Parents Outraged at Planned Parenthood Class Teaching Sexual Positions
Life Site News ^ | June 24, 2009 | Kathleen Gilbert
Posted on Thursday, June 24, 2010 6:33:21 PM by NYer
SHENANDOAH, Iowa, June 24, 2010 (LifeSiteNews.com) - Parents in Southwest Iowa have reacted in horror after learning that Planned Parenthood's co-ed sex education course not only used pornographic teaching materials but also taught children sexual positions.
Colleen Dostal told Fox News Radio, after discovering that her 14-year-old son had been taught sexual positions using stuffed animals meant to represent STDs, that the class was "horribly inappropriate."
“I do not understand why any adult with a classroom of children would show them sexual positions,” she told Fox.
Dostal said the class also included directions on performing female exams and used an anatomically correct model of a male sex organ to explain how to use a condom.
The parents said the school's principal was "mortified" when told the content of the class and apologized. Several other parents complained to school superintendent Dick Profit. Profit, however, claimed he had received equal numbers of calls supporting and opposing the explicit sex-ed, according to the World Herald.
Speaking for Planned Parenthood, Jennifer Horner defended the curriculum as giving children "accurate" information.
"We are not trying to keep any of this a secret. All information we use is medically accurate and science based," she said.
Planned Parenthood's extremely explicit take on teen sex-ed is evident from the "Teen Talk" section of their website, a series of pages decorated with images of heterosexual and homosexual intimacy, which leads youngsters to a wealth of information on deviant sexual practices.
One page entitled "All about the anus: how much do you really know about your anus?" gives explicit details on anal penetration as a source of sexual pleasure and "as a way to preserve the woman's virginity." While noting that anal penetration "is, of course, high risk for HIV," PP advocates using condoms or "Sheer Glyde dams" to protect against the fatal virus.
Elsewhere, Planned Parenthood dedicates a web page to advocating masturbation as "safe and healthy, and it's here to stay." The article hails the painkilling and stress-relieving qualities of masturbation, and assures that it's "fine" to do so several times a day. "Forget those rumors of hairy palms and shrinking penises. Masturbation is a safe and healthy way to relieve sexual tension, explore our sexuality, and discover what feels good. Let's give ourselves a hand — or two!" the article concludes.

I'll make a prediction:
The first time one of these 6 year olds puts one of those things in their mouth and starts choking, the liberal tards will blame Bush.

6-year-olds are getting STDs from unprotected sex now? ::)
-
Can you imagine how traumatized one of those little tykes will be the day he first tries on a condom and it's way too big for him. Although some of you won't have to imagine it tho... for some of you, ...it was like yesterday, ...in fact, it was yesterday. ;D 333 is wiping the tears away right now as I type.
At face value it might seem inappropriate to teach 6 yr old about condoms, ...but I gotta tell ya, ...looking back, I've seen some pretty precocious 6 yr olds... and these later generations of kids are learning much more, much faster. It might actually be a wise move.
Most likely the majority of them will use them as water balloons tho. ;D

I'm all for sex education in schools, even condoms accessibility in high school maybe even middle school. But 6 year olds? That's over board.
-
are they normal sized condoms? Magnum?

It's even worse. I heard this morning that the policy applies to pre schoolers. You just can't make this stuff up. :-\

P-town to rethink condom policy
Governor urges no access for young children
By Jack Nicas
Globe Correspondent / June 25, 2010
The Provincetown school system will revisit its controversial policy of making condoms available to all students, with no age restriction, after Governor Deval Patrick expressed concern yesterday that very young children would have access to them.
A day after the new policy caused a media firestorm, School Committee chairman Peter Grosso said that Provincetown would probably limit condoms to fifth-graders and older. His stance stemmed from a conversation he had with Superintendent Beth Singer, author of the rule set to take effect this fall.
“She said the School Committee is going to have to revisit the policy and definitely reword it so it’s self-explaining, and possibly wording it so that maybe there would be an exclusion of the real young grades,’’ Grosso said.
In a rare intervention in a local matter, Patrick called Singer yesterday morning to urge her to keep the free condoms out of the Cape Cod community’s elementary school, which serves preschoolers to sixth-graders.
In a statement, he called the policy “not age appropriate’’ and objected to a provision requiring school officials to provide condoms despite parental objections.
“The governor is deeply concerned,’’ state Education Secretary Paul Reville told the Globe. “He had a good conversation [with Singer] and was encouraged that the community was willing to consider making this age appropriate and keeping parents involved in the process.’’
The wording of the policy technically makes condoms available to any Provincetown pupil, from preschoolers to high school seniors. But Singer and two committee members have assured critics that the policy would be enforced case by case and that, in practical application, condoms would not be given to young elementary school students.
Patrick’s two main challengers in the governor’s race blasted the policy yesterday.
“As a parent, I find the Provincetown school position indefensible,’’ Republican Charles D. Baker said. “I especially resent and oppose this notion that parents aren’t allowed to opt their kids out.’’
“It’s wrong,’’ independent candidate Timothy P. Cahill said. “You can be teaching kids about the facts of life, sexual education, but passing out condoms is crossing the line for kids that young.’’
The School Committee will probably meet Tuesday to discuss possible changes, Grosso said. But he said he would not support limiting the condoms to the high school.
“Not at all,’’ he said. “It’d have to go lower than that, because we all know kids are sexually active before high school. I’d say we’ll keep fifth- and sixth grade’’ in the free condom program.
School Committee member Carrie Notaro said that while she prefers the current policy, she is willing to compromise.
“If parents are that upset, and we have to revise it to fifth- and sixth-graders, then that would be fine with me,’’ said Notaro, who has a preschooler and a second-grader in the elementary school.
Notaro said she is undecided about the parental provision, but Grosso said he will vote against giving parents a say. “If they’re going to go get a condom,’’ he said, “they’re not going to ask their parents anyway.’’
Patricia Quinn, executive director of the Massachusetts Alliance on Teen Pregnancy, said for those children who decide to have sex at a young age, at least Provincetown schools are encouraging them to take precautions.
Children alone decide “when they become sexually active, and we can’t control that,’’ she said. “But we can ensure that when they’re making those decisions, there are caring adults and support present.’’
Reville said the state cannot regulate school condom programs. But he said it does suggest guidelines, that the policy is restricted to high schools and that parents can opt to have their children not participate.
“We feel strongly that those communities that have elected to do this have adhered to those guidelines,’’ Reville said.
Notaro said that when the School Committee unanimously passed the policy June 8, the intent was to provide condoms to older students.
The possibility that younger students would request the condoms was not considered, because it was unrealistic, she said.
Asked what she would do if her second-grade son came home with a condom, she said: “I wouldn’t overreact. I guess I would ask him where did he get it and how did he get it.’’

Montana School Proposes Controversial Sex Education Program
By Todd Starnes
Published July 09, 2010
FoxNews.com
A proposed plan to teach kindergartners sex education has come under fire in Helena, Montana.
The Helena Public School system is considering a comprehensive plan for students in kindergarten through 12th grade. It includes teaching first graders that people can be attracted to the same gender. In second grade students are instructed to avoid gay slurs and by the time students turn 10 years old they are taught about various types of intercourse.
According to the draft proposal obtained by FOX News Radio, fifth graders should “understand that sexual intercourse includes but is not limited to vaginal, oral, or anal penetration.”
Jeff Laszloffy, of the Montana Family Foundation, is among those outraged that educators want to teach sex education to kindergarteners.
“It’s absolutely insane,” Laszloffy told FOX News Radio. “This is not education. This has crossed the line and has gone from education to indoctrination and that’s the problem parents have.”

Parents in Montana Battle Over Sex-Ed
July 14, 2010
by: Alicia Acuna
Should kindergarten students learn the proper terms for male and female private parts?
For many outraged parents in Helena, Montana, the answer is absolutely not. Approximately 300 people packed a Helena Public Schools board of trustees meeting Tuesday night to voice their opinions on the district's proposed changes to it's health curriculum. Specifically, the "Human Sexuality" portion of the draft that calls for children as young as five-years-old to begin sex-ed.
A majority of those in the crowd cheered as opponents took to the microphone to let their disdain for the measure be known, but proponents of the new sex-ed curriculum stated that when parents do not address issues like sexual activity, abuse and disease, then it falls on the burden of teachers to make sure kids are informed.
A number of proponents included those who identified themselves as homosexual and who said they had endured painful discrimination at the hands of fellow students.
They said they hoped the new curriculum would educate children about alternative lifestyles.
The nine member board of trustees is expected to vote on August 10th. If it passes, the district tells Fox News that it would likely take between two and three years before the new program is implemented.
