Uproar over state's plan to put condom vending machines in schools
Daily Mail UK ^ | February 26, 2025 | KELLY GARINO

Maryland has pushed forward a bill that would make condoms available within vending machines throughout K-12 schools, leaving hundreds in outrage as they refer to the plan as 'absolutely sickening.'

Introduced by Democrat Del. Nicole Williams of Prince George's County, Bill 380 seeks to repeal a decades-old ban on condoms and other contraceptives being available within vending machines at kindergarten, nursery, elementary or secondary public schools.

The state's House of Delegates advanced the bill as it passed the House vote 89-to-41 on Friday. It is now on the way to the Democrat-controlled Senate for further consideration where it is expected to pass, WMAR 2 News reported.

The forward-movement of Bill 380 has sparked fresh debate around reproductive health, public education and parental rights, especially among Republicans and parental activists.

While supporters argue that the bill will modernize Maryland's reproductive health policies by improving teen access to sexual contraceptives, those against its passing argue that it takes away parental control and prioritizes safe-sex access rather than education.

'Condoms for kiddies,' Republican Del. Kathy Szeliga, of Baltimore County, said before the bill's passing, Fox Baltimore reported. 'This goes too far.'

To this day, Maryland remains one of the only states where selling condoms through school-provided vending machines is criminalized. Criminal Law §10-105 makes the act a misdemeanor offense, punishable by a fine up to $1,000, The Baynet reported.

The state's ban on contraceptive vending machines has been a decades-long debate, as it originated from laws that had aimed to regulate access to protection among the young population.

When I was in high school in the 60’s, my school installed refrigerated vending machines with fresh fruit in them. I didn’t even know what condoms were at that time.

Walz didn’t make it to VP but he would have given free tampons to the little boys.

The condoms are meant to reduce the number of “pregnant persons” as the media calls them.

We had pop machines in Junior High and High Schools.

I knew what a condom was by the time I got to Junior High mostly because it was in a lot of 80’s movies.

One time during a school time game one kid, can’t say his name here but I still remember it, decided it was a good idea to take a condom, blow it up like a balloon and toss it in the air. That got the whole school sent to our Homerooms during the game till it was time to go home.

"These people need tarred and feathered."

How dare you! This condom policy for kindergarten schools is to make certain that pedophile teachers and staff don't leave behind sperm as incriminating genetic evidence for prosecution. You need to be more woke. /sarc

These people are freaking insane.

Many of us refer to them as the Maryland General Asylum.

Time for parents to teach their kids some Alynski tactics. As he said ridicule cannot be overcome, children should be taught about the cool balloons in the bathroom and they can be blown up and tossed around the classrooms.

It’s so the teachers have access to the condoms when they molest the kids.

Let’s just say I remember being a little boy, back when little boys were invented. And it would be a very, very bad idea to place condoms in the hands of little boys. Sex got nuttin’ to do wid it. Condoms on doorknobs. Condoms with a helium tank. Blown up and decorated with magic markers. Condoms with masking tape and the limits of evil little boy ingenuity. Don’t tickle that dragon, please. IMHO.
