Promoting Teen Sex in Schools or Protecting Them?
There was a documentation on television with the parents and the distributors arguing the facts about what this is promoting to our young influenced teens. Parents were very upset that schools have turned to this kind of behavior. Quote one parent said " What gives the school the right to hand my child a condom during school"? "What is the world becoming when school is no longer a safe educational place for our children to be"?
I believe as well that this is wrong. Since when do teachers have a right to determine what is best for our children. The sad part about this whole thing is that when the distributors were asked why they are not getting permission from parents or letting parents know about this, they answered stating "It is a confidential act and the teens have a right to not tell their parents about this just the same as going to planned parent hood and not having to tell their parents, we are simply providing them protection so if they are going to do it they will be safe".
Unreal! There was hours of debate between parents and the distributors as to how they can do this and the parents have no say. There was even one parent whos teen went to that school and she was one of the parents who helped this happen for the teens. When questioned by other parents and news broadcasters she simply stated " I feel that teens are doing this regardless so why not protect them? My teen goes to this school as well and with what she tells me that goes on with the other kids in the school, it is a good thing that we are providing them with some kind of protection."
I feel this is rediculous and shouldn't be aloud in schools. Schools are supposed to be for educational purposes. I do feel that educated teens on sexual behavior and the consequences are a good thing once they reach a certain age but to place condoms in a class room for these teens is crossing the line.
