MPS wants to hand out free condoms.....I have a better idea

Posted by Kevin Fischer on Dec. 3, 2009 | 2 comments


This is just plain nuts, especially the incredibly foolish argument that kids are fooling around anyway.

Instead of handing out a free invitation to kids to go have sex, I suggest taking one of my blogs and reading the column that I link to in every MPS high school classroom as often as possible. Make copies available. Put it on blackboards, in school libraries, publish it in the school paper.

Mail the column to the home of every MPS student and urge the parent, parents, or guardians to go over it with their child/children.

Handing out free condoms isn’t prevention. It’s enabling dangerous, risky behavior we want to prevent.

    As a recent high school graduate and current college student, you couldn't be more incorrect. Students are fooling around anyway, not just one or two, a great many are. They find condoms elsewhere; but lots of kids who are without a condom don't bother getting one if it would be too much a hassle, the heat of the moment and all that. If free condoms were available they would make a direct impact on students partaking in safer sex options. It's comically naive to think kids aren't fooling around, so why not make it safer?
