I'd prefer my child have self control. It's not hard.
If this is not so hard, then this should be a non issue for you and your child.
Condoms are available. Drugs are available as is unlimited icecream in the cafeteria. It is YOUR job as the PARENT to have a conversation with YOUR child about sex and contraception. It is perfectly acceptable for the school to have condoms available to all kids, but YOUR job as the parent to teach your kids your values and make choices based on your beliefs.
The average age an American looses his or her virginity is 17, with girls being slightly below that average and boys slightly above that average. You make YOUR family choices and instill YOUR values based on available info and reality. We dont need the school policing a list of who can grab a condom and who can't. That's just silly. Nobody is forcing these condoms into kids pockets.
