[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ya’ll are crazy - making them accessible is one thing but just giving them to everyone is taking it a litttle too far.  [/quote]

Yep.[/quote]

Agree. I’m not at all uptight about sex. I have four adult kids and one older teen. I taught my children responsibility, emotional awareness and safe sex. Not abstinence or wait till marriage nonesense. [b]Still, I don’t think schools need to hand out condoms. Have them easily accessible? Absolutely.[/b] [/quote]

What's the difference? [/quote]

Literally the only difference I see is that in one scenario, the shy kid too scared to ask or go get condoms has protection whereas in the other scenario, the kid walks by the nurse's office knowing they are there, but too scared to go get some.

I know that was the case when I was in HS.  Condoms weren't given out to everyone, but in P.E., Health Class, and Sex Ed it was announced that free condoms were available from the school nurse with no questions asked.  The kids who had no qualms about going in to ask her for condoms made money off the kids who were too shy or scared to do so.  Not even joking.

At our first floor meeting in college, my RA handed out condoms to everyone and then gave us the information on where to get them for free on campus.      [/quote]
