Oakwood School in North Hollywood, where my daughter is in eighth grade, has been holding Glove Affair since 2000. In reality, it's not a "condom party" but a fundraiser for L.A. AIDS-prevention groups.
Sad...the education system is sad. But at the end of the day the "system" is responsible to the parents who seem to be asleep at the wheel.
I'd hazard to guess that they've got the basics pretty well figured out.
I can't get the rest of the article. Is this a school class? A school sponsored event? What is Glove Affair? (I got the subject idea...what is it in reference to schools)
How tragic.
OK, so the point is that knowledge is power and protection. So when do they start holding firearm awareness fairs, where the kids can learn about weapon safety and the need for personal protection.
If knowledge is power and fair is fair.....
Tranquilizer BUMP!
I ain't registering now.
I ain't registering ever!
for later testing...
I'd be all for that, and if you're interested I think that the ATF or the DHS might actually have a program that teaches school age children about gun safety.
No need to read any more of this article.
I am already sufficiently disgusted.
the ATF at least has a kid's page

Earth to Coleus: they have this trash at your daughter's school, and you still have her going there? Some of us have kids in public schools, but we are very careful not to have them in schools with THOSE kinds of things. (Most schools don't have such gross stuff; our elementary kids' teachers are conservative Christians, for example...) Perhaps you can let us on the forum know?
Sorry, I just saw that it was the column writer's kid, not yours. I would not want to be the child of such an irresponsible parent, would you?
Went all the way through PhD without ever seeing a syphillus lesion.
Liberalism IS a mental disorder. Has this person ever heard of loving their kid? If attending this kind of stuff is fine, what isn't fine?
