Sex Education Starting In the First Grade
WHO IS GOING TO TEACH ME ABOUT THE BIRDS AND THE BEES?
For a while, there has been a debate as to whether the education system should be responsible for teaching students about sex in the schools. At one point, parents could sign a permission slip to have their child participate or not.
The controversy centered on many issues. Along with who should teach children about sex - their parent or the school system? There was also some concern that if children as young as junior high school learned about sex, does this mean adults and parents were promoting youth to "Go Have Sex?"
On Tuesday, June 22, 2010, an article appeared in the Daily News entitled: "Condom Distribution Policy Starting In Elementary School At Provincetown, Mass." The article stated that children as early as the first grade would be able to participate in a condom distribution program, with or without their parents consent. School leaders were directed by the policy committee "not to honor the demands from parents who object to their kids receiving protection." Any student seeking to obtain condoms would have to meet with a school nurse, or trained counselor and learn how to use the condom.
