Me too. I realize there are some parents that shrug off the responsibilities of being parents; but I will bet the majority of them are not happy with someone other then themselves mandating birth control or anything else for their children.
If these kids want BC, they can go to the truckstop bathroom just like we use to do. };>)
Where in the law does it allow anyone other than a pharmacy or licensed medical professional to dispense prescription drugs????? Hint: school nurses cannot write a prescription.
the whole point of offering BC in school is to bypass the parents.
A poll more interested in getting an accurate would ask these questions:
Q: Do you favor schools distributing hormonal birth control which require a prescription to girls aged 11-13 without the knowledge or consent of the parents?
Q: Should such a program require parents to affirmatively opt-in, or should all students be enrolled unless the parents specifically opt-out?
I think the answer to the first question would be a definitive “Hell No!” and that most people would agree that requiring parents to opt-in to such a program, if it were to exist at all, is the only way to go.
What she left out was, "And since we never bothered to instill any values whatsoever in our children, we want the government through the schools to do it for us. This way if anything happens we can blame them instead of taking responsibility ourselves"
Or, since they're going to do it anyway, "and parents don't know everything" why not a dime bag of coke, since it's supposed to enhance the whole sexual experience?
The people who cannot teach kids to read and write are the same people who are going to decide when, where and how much those kids should have birth control.
my local newspaper has a poll on this on their main page: http://www.kdhnews.com/ (near the bottom on the right). It doesn’t seem to show that most are OK with birth control pills and condoms being handed out. Very interesting.
