I hope they get sued. I’m not allowed to send an aspirin to school with my daughter but the school has a right to medicate her without my permission, or even my knowledge?

As long as it’s regarding sex, it seems the schools have unlimited discretion to do, say, or give anything they want to the kids.

What’s next? Will they provide a bed and some private time for the kids who want to have sex?

And I’m sure B/C hormones don’t affect the development of girls going through puberty...

This is madness. We are killing ourselves with chemicals.

"Parents should be the sex educator for their children," Levkoff said. "The problem is not every parent feels empowered [to do so]."

Given the recent opinions of California judicial activists, East Coast government indoctrination camp kommissars - excuse me, I meant "public school superintendents" - and ACLU lawyers, who can blame them?

And what in blue blazes it is of the school’s that anyone is sexually active or not? Not to mention just because someone says they are or aren’t doesn’t mean they’re telling the truth.

Parents don't feel empowered? Well, the solution is obviously to take all power away from parents and give it to the schools. That'll help. [/s]

Science and the MSM won’t admit that the chemicals in Birth Control Pills/Patches cause cancer.
Anybody else notice the dramatic increase in women’s cancer begining about 20 years after the introduction of the pill?

[ArrogantBustard]

Logan Levkoff, a sexologist and relationship expert, should be publicly flogged, and pilloried in the town square.

ANOTHER REASON TO HOMESCHOOL

This ping list is for the “other” articles of interest to homeschoolers about education and public school. The main Homeschool Ping List handles the homeschool-specific articles. This can occasionally be a fairly high volume list. If you want on/off either list, please freepmail me and let me know which list it is that you want to be put on or taken off of.

Whatever happened to schools doing the teaching they're supposed to be doing?

Instead, they're trying to become medical clinics handing out medicine by a school nurse and LEO by strip searching 13 year old girls for contraband Advil.

"We do certainly sit down and speak with them about why [being sexually active] is not a good choice," said Amanda Rowe, the school's nurse coordinator. "But there are some who persist... and they need to be protected."

"We do certainly sit down and speak with them about why shoplifting or using drugs is not a good choice," said Amanda Rowe, the school's nurse coordinator. "But there are some who persist... and they need to be protected by being told how to avoid getting caught by police or security cameras. After all, that could ruin their entire life; unlike, of course, engaging in immoral and illegal behavior with impugnity and the knowledge that when all is said and done, our bottom line shows them that we really don't believe what we say about refraining from the behavior."

“...they need to be protected.”
...from the consequences of their own actions, which forms the basis for the entire nanny-state movement. If the birth control doesn’t work, they can be ‘protected’ by an abortion. If that doesn’t work, there is always AFDC and welfare.

[whipitgood]

Perhaps an even better way to ‘protect’ them would be a large box of diapers and baby wipes, a supply of injectable antibiotics for the treatment of STD, and an alarm clock which wakes them up at three hour intervals in preparation for infant care. And a list of available minimum wage jobs, which is all they will ever qualify for.

Hump and get STD’s kids, that’s OK. But we don’t want you to be punished with a child, no way.

[Leftism is Mentally Deranged]

The left is just implementing its agenda. They seek to have everyone having sex with everyone else, with no responsibility involved, and to strip parents of their influence over the moral code of their children. (but they still want the parent’s money)

[Froufrou]

“The contraceptives could be dispensed without the knowledge of parents, although written permission would be required for children to receive (unspecified) services from the health center.”

WTF? What does that mean, maybe yes and maybe no? Sheesh, why don’t they just say, “hey, we’re the school board, we’ll do whatever we want.”
