How does THIS make sense!?

Okay, in a country where you cannot even get an asprin from the school nurse without a parent's permission, how in the world does it make sense for a school to hand out The Pill, and not only not tell the parents, but not tell the state?


Okay, a little primer on current federal laws on sex. If a child comes in for the pill, it must be reported. Why? Because if a child is on the pill, they are more than likely having sex. And all persons under the age of 18 who have sex must be reported. Second, like I said above, it is against the law for a student to receive an aspirin without parental consent, so thus, this should be illegal.

So, here is what I think. If you want to authorize your child to start having sex in middle school, and thus scar them emotionally later on as they give away more and more of themselves, then fine. But if you have your child's best interest at heart, and want to keep them from emotional trouble later on, then prevent this permission from being given out, and protect your child.
