GERVAIS, Ore. – Unhappy parents have forced an Oregon school board to re-think its plan to begin handing out condoms to students – sixth-graders on up – when school starts up again this fall.

During a May meeting, school board members approved a plan in which trained teachers (presumably health teachers) would hand out prophylactics after first having “a discussion with the student,” StatesmanJournal.com reports. Some of those students could have been as young as 11 years old.

But when parents and community members caught wind of the “condoms-upon-request” plan, they flooded a June board meeting to express their displeasure.

“Some members of the public were offended that schools were stepping into the parents’ territory of addressing their children’s sexuality, according to minutes of the June board meeting,” StatesmanJournal.com reports.

Leftists and many libertarians think kids are just little adults.

The Planned Parenthood plague—genital sniffing goons are in the classroom 24/7.

Good thing Big Pharma finally came out w/ a nasal spray to treat gonorrhea of the nasal passages-—rampant in PP clinics.

“6th grade? That’s a water-balloon to a 6th grader.

I’ll never forget in Jr. High the kid who brought a condom to a during-school game, blew it up and passed it around with his buddies in the bleachers. Because of it we all had to go back to our homerooms and sit till the end of the day. Don’t know how he got the condom don’t care. Trust me the kid was so ugly and such a creep that blowing it up like a balloon was the most fun he’d ever have fun with it anyway.

No way. Those are the same people who voted in those school board members.
And will do it again. They have nothing to bitch about because they refused
to question their own votes. Oregon is a POS liberal byproduct of
Communism and Hippies.

It’s so sad these folks are willing to pervert the lives of children just to justify their own perverted lifestyles.

If I were to post on that site, I would basically FLAME them by saying that all of the parents are TEA PARTY and want to go back to the VICTORIAN ERA. I would also state that “we” liberals knew what we were doing when we voted AGAINST the Tea Party and for DEMOCRATS...so yes, condoms may well be the correct solution here, and those TEA PARTY people can go to hell.

(again, I’m just being a liberal...flaming them)

The homo activists tell us that normalizing homosexuality wont encourage pedophilia, because “kids cant consent to sex”.

But they can be handed condoms to engage in sex they supposedly cant consent to?

First step is to make it normal for gets to have sex, then magically that whole consent issue for the pervs goes away.

U.S. education is headed down the tubes in the three R's.

But they have time to pass out condoms, rule over nutrition, ignore relegion, etc., etc.

When leftists get caught red-handed, they regroup and give their policy a new name and identity.

I could see most of sixth grade boys giggling and snickering.....

While they made water ballons out of them and threw them at the girls.
