A school board in Arizona has decided that condoms are among the items that should be given to students attending this year's prom.
The school board in the Bisbee District voted 4-1 at a recent meeting to include the condoms in a "prom bag" that will be given to prom-goers this year.
A spokeswoman in the office of Supt. Paul McDonald confirmed the condoms would be handed out to the event celebrants, along with other items such as picture frames, balloons and candy.
"The governing board approved [this]," she told WND. "They are to have what they call prom bags, which include picture frames and balloons and candy and other items. They requested from the health department if they could put a condom in the bag also."

Hey, after dealing with two posters on another thread who were adamantly defending the school’s right to strip search a 13 girl based on what amounts to nothing as far as evidence, you don’t take anything for granted any more.
One got banned, the other has disappeared but still has an active account.

Post #10 is one of the greatest posts I have EVER read on this topic!
I am also reminded of this commentary from a year ago:
Bisbee is as close to a Hippie conclave as can be found outside of SF. Seriously, tie-dye clothes, long (unwashed) hair, even VW microbusses.
The two in question would probably only oppose this if the condoms were bought with tax money, they would think it was a great idea if they were donated.
We are not worthy! Outstanding post.
That’s a keeper!
“...why don’t they buy them all hotel rooms, or put roll-in bed in the gym?”
This was my thought, too. They may as well put some air beds in the classrooms and allow prom-goers to use those condoms. They could assign teachers at every door and do a used condom check as the kids went back to the dance. They need to make sure the kids are using them properly.
If I were a parent in this district I would not allow my child to attend. I know that homeschooling is not an option for everyone but I have to say it’s articles like this that make me feel better about our decision to keep the kids at home.
School board to male students:
” Go Get ‘em!!!”
Why don’t you put that on your profile page and (try to) save it for posterity.
I think he should make it a stand alone thread and save it for posterity.
Er, "safer."
“Obviously, the Navy is “a tool of the marxists who want to destroy the family and block any influence of parents on children’s values.””
Oh? You mean the adults serving in the Navy are the same as a bunch of underage kids in high school?
“In Korea, all US military police personnel carry a pocket of condoms while patrolling the local ‘ville”
Really, I never once saw one that carried those.
You are the master of images.
Yuck.
Nope. Just showing similar faulty reasoning.
Then I wonder what the Police were doing with the three cases of condoms per month drawn from Medical Supply at my hospital and delivered to the Superintendent of the Security Police Squadron? They sure had them in their pockets at Guard Mount.

Aw, shucks. (blushing)
