Notice how the condom club is #3 on the bulletin while careers, sports and other important things are at the bottom.

I see Burka-Lee has their priorities straight.

Does the school really believe that students have the right to make their own health care decisions? What if a student doesn't want to take his ritalin? What if he wants to play football despite having a bad heart? Or does this "principle" only apply to decisions involving sexual activity?

The only thing about this story I find a little out of ordinary is that the father does not have the kind of relationship with his son where he can talk to him about that kind of stuff easily.

"The health center, according to the school's website, " knows that students have the ability to make their own health care decisions, and supports their right to take responsibility for themselves and their health. By health, we mean physical, emotional and sexual well-being. We will continue to create a safe space for students that is free of judgment." "

HIGH SCHOOLS ARE TEACHING OUR CHILDREN TO HAVE SEX AND CONTRACEPT, BUT DON'T ADVISE OF THE DANGERS, ON THE NOTION THAT A 13 YEAR OLD KNOWS BETTER THEN THEIR OWN PARENTS!!

This is precisely why I send my children to Catholic school.

Next week they establish the Duct Tape Seatbelt Club.

"..."knows that students have the ability to make their own health care decisions, and supports their right to take responsibility for themselves..."

I wonder if they have a problem with recruiters.

Give a kid a condom, he'll have sex and risk his life, thinking he's safe from all harm. Teach him about the dangers of casual sex, and he'll live a longer life.

"Twelve condoms a week! I don't know sex workers who need that many condoms," he wrote.

The kids will sell them or use them as water balloons. What does the school care? It's probably taxpayer money.

I wonder why they don't take this same approach when it comes to under-18 smoking, or use of certain kinds of drugs?

This is just one of the many reasons we chose to move away from Berkeley in 1968 (we saw the beginning of the trend) and why we finally left California altogether in 1973. I am so happy that we chose to raise our children elsewhere.

I can't imagine the depths to which my home state has degenerated.

[Savage Beast]

They're not doing enough. The school should hire professional sex workers to make sure the students know how to use these protective devices correctly. There are plenty of such professionals in the Tenderloin District, just across the bridge, and, for that matter, right there in Berkeley. What's the matter with these people? Don't they know what education means???

[TRY ONE]

Reagan: Give a kid a condom and he'll want another free condom tomorrow;

Jocelyn Elders: Teach a kid to J#rk @ff, and he won't need a condom!

[DTwistedSisterS]

TWELVE FREE CONDOMS PER WEEK!?

TWELVE TIMES IN ONE WEEK AS TEENS!?

Don't they have school work (says an 18 year old Catholic Jesuit High School Senior)?!

Sheesh
