Seattle 6th Graders Can’t Get a Coke at School, But Can Get an IUD

(CNSNews.com) -- Middle and high school students can’t get a Coca-Cola or a candy bar at 13 Seattle public schools, but they can get a taxpayer-funded intrauterine device (IUD) implanted without their parents’ consent.

School-based health clinics in at least 13 Seattle-area public high schools and middle schools offer long-acting reversible contraceptives (LARCs), including IUDs and hormonal implants, to students in sixth-grade and above at no cost, according to Washington State officials.

LARCs are associated with serious side effects, such as uterine perforation and infection. IUDs, specifically, can also act as abortifacients by preventing the implantation of a fertilized egg.

The state and federally funded contraceptive services are made possible by Take Charge, a Washington State Medicaid program which provides free birth control to adults who are uninsured, lack contraceptive coverage, have an income at or below 260 percent of the Federal Poverty Level -- or, in this case, to teens who don’t want their parents to know they’re on birth control.

11 I think. When I was in school that was still Grade school but now I think that is Middle school. 12 years old would be 7th grade. That is why I think 6th graders are having access to these is because they have Planned parenthood in Middle schools.

Pretty close to that.

If someone were to arrange that for my 12 year old daughter without my consent...

Where is Henry M. Jackson who said, “I’m a liberal but no fool.”

Most 6th graders are 11 when the school year starts and turn 12 during the year.

Parents should consult local attorneys to consider filing criminal complaints with the district attorney and state attorney general, against the responsible school officials .... such charges as (depending on local laws):
1. assault and battery against a minor
2. contributing to the deliquency of a minor
3. improper (sexual) contact with a minor
4. unlicensed practice of medicine
5. etc.
Parents should also consult local attorneys about local laws and possible filing of civil damages suits, such as for
1. any physical harm to the children
2. emotional/psychological harm
3. etc.
Parents should also consult attorneys to learn about filing complaints with appropropriate licensing boards, such as...
1. practicing medicine without a license
2. any school administation or principal licensing violations (many places require licensing of school administrators or officials)
3. etc
Parents should also consult attorneys to learn about filing recall or opposition petitions against any responsible elected officials (school board members or trustees, etc)
4. Parents could also make a signfiicant public issue about such conduct against their children, in the local mass media

I cannot advise what should be done in any particular case, it depends on local laws and procedures I know nothing about, of course. But there are usually local attorneys who will advise concerned parents in serious matters, often for little or no fee, and that would certainly be my first step if anyone did anything like this to my child.

There is no mystery why US public schools are failing to educate American students.

Okay, I admit it straight up, nitpicking. It depends on the kids birthday, my grandsons is in late december so he had to wait a year before they (the school district) let him start kindergarten.

Sixth graders typically range in age from what...11 to 14? Any parent taking out any administration participant in that child abuse should get a pass on the killing, plus a medal.

I tend to think that the kind of 12 year old who wants an IUD should probably have one. On a few occasions I’ve had to have regular interactions with 13 year old girls with babies. They weren’t innocents recently corrupted. These were girls who were likeley doomed from birth because of the poor quality of their parent(s) and who were long-gone down the road of depravity. Sparing society the cost of their absolutely zero chance children is pretty darn valuable.

I don’t think this is happening on a discretionary basis on the Q.T. however, but as part of blatant advertising to the entire student body.

To protect one determined trollop we have to drag everyone’s morality down?
