[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I see people complaining about the Clinic and it makes me wonder if they think kids at schools in Fairfax County or Arlington don't have sex or something? I'd rather young girls have access to birth control than that they didn't. In my mind, this is a positive thing.[/quote]

Agreed. It is NOT that kids in other districts are having less sex. It's that they have more access to health care and birth control. All this does is level the playing field. I'm too lazy to look it up right now, but the teen pregnancy rate dropped the year after they moved this health clinic into the school (it has existed, but offsite previously).

Obviously, I'm not a fan of high school students having sex, but this is obviously doing good. PP also made an excellent point about the sports physicals, too. I just don't see how this isn't win-win. I suspect the people that object to the health clinic are the same ones that demand that their child be excused from the health classes that mention birth control.  :roll: [/quote]
