A New England school district has approved a measure that will provide free condoms to elementary school students and direct teachers not to comply with parental wishes to the contrary.We could, of course, comment on the sheer silliness of these attempts by the educational establishment to direct the sexual lives of their students. I have commented before that if our public educational institutions do the same thing for sex as they have done for reading and writing, the very survival of the race may be in jeopardy.
But perhaps the better comment is the one made by some wag that schools shouldn't be handing out condoms; they should be handing out educations. And until they figure out how to do that, it would probably be a service to everyone else if they just laid off the stupid education tricks.

You are welcome to post at this blog. You are asked, however, to refrain from the following:
1. Name-calling;
2. Questioning the motives or integrity of people you have never met just because you disagree with them;
3. Using obscenities or other expressions not appropriate or necessary to civilized discussion;
4. Taking disagreement personally;
5. Demeaning or insulting remarks.
The host will attempt to abide by the same rules and only asks that you not provide him with the temptation to do so in return by violating them.
Failure to comply with these rules can result (depending solely on the arbitrary and inscrutable will of the host) in the deletion of offending posts and suspension of posting privileges. Such measures are more likely if you post anonymously.
