Provincetown Pulls Off Condom Policy
(Blog editor bends upright index finger into curled claw)
Yeah, let's forget the whole thing.
"Changes to condom proposal promised; P-town board to revise for clarity" by Jack Nicas, Globe Correspondent | July 1, 2010
A week after Provincetown schools sparked a furor over a new condom policy, the superintendent has assured parents that school nurses would not dispense condoms to any student who asks, despite the open wording of the rule.
“As I listened to the media’s interpretation of our policy, it became clear that it is vulnerable to being misunderstood,’’ Superintendent Beth Singer wrote in a letter to parents earlier this week.
“It was never directed to elementary students. We never would have issued condoms to elementary-aged children, nor did we expect them to even know about this.
What is with these s***-headed people who think they live in a bubble?
No, no, I mean both of 'em.
“Therefore, we will revise the policy for better clarity,’’ said the letter, read to a Globe reporter yesterday by School Committee member Carrie Notaro.
Singer said in an interview yesterday that changes to the policy are up to the School Committee. Two committee members have said the new policy would limit condoms to fifth-graders and older.
Notaro said students that young should be able to get condoms in school.
“It’s the reality,’’ Notaro said. “‘It’s not a comfortable reality, it’s not a walk-in-the-park reality, but it’s the reality. Kids are going to have sex whether you want them to or not.’’
Well, PEOPLE are going to TAKE DRUGS whether you like it or not but we are NOT HANDING THEM OUT for FREE (unless you count tax loot to the legal dealers to get Americans hooked on their poisons).
And because of THESE PIN-HEADED ADULTS I say HAVE AT IT, kids!
People are getting KILLED EVERY DAY because of the DAMN WARS so HAVE AT IT!!!
LIFE MUST TRIUMPH in the END!!!!
Need money to care for all the kids, blah, blah?
Check with the Pentagon, Wall Street, and Israel.
That seems to be where it all winds up anyway.
Singer said the policy was drafted for sexually active students, which makes it impossible to assign an age limit.
Then NO MORE STATUTORY RAPES and CHILD ABUSE CASES, right?
I mean WTF are they TALKING ABOUT?
And WHY YOU GOTTA wait until 21 for the BOOZE, kiddo?
Downin' the wine at the dinner table in France and Italy before the teen years.
“I don’t have a cutoff, because if I were to say to you ‘age appropriate’ is seventh grade, and we have a student that’s sexually active before that, we can’t deny them protection,’’ she said.
And IF my grandmother had wheels she would be a BICYCLE!!!
Singer blamed the media for hysteria over first-graders hypothetically acquiring condoms.
Well, I HAVE BIGGER GRIPES with them than THIS, but... she's right!
I mean, FRONT-PAGING the STUFF!?
Keeps us talking about peripheral crap while the looting, lying, and wars continue.
“Young children are not interested in having sex, nor are they interested in having condoms,’’ she said. “And to be honest, I’m kind of grossed out by that whole concept.’’
Yeah, so am I.
Notaro and committee chairman Peter Grosso said they also want to keep the part of the policy that allows children to receive condoms despite parental objection.
It looks like they need a good pounding in the pooper to get the message.
Singer likes the provision because it promotes more protection, but said parents need to be included....
Provincetown, which caps the top of the Cape Cod peninsula, is known for its summer tourists.
And it's bigoted gay population.
Town officials said outrage over the policy has largely come from outside the town.
I didn't know Israel phoned in on this?
“If most people take the time to read what was proposed, they would understand it better,’’ said Selectman Francis J. Santos. “It’s just gotten so much bad press.’’
Hey, DON'T BLAME ME! I just report it as the Globe reports it to me; you guys WROTE IT!!!!
After the policy was reported last week, talk show hosts and conservative groups took aim. Governor Deval Patrick phoned Singer to express his disapproval.
I was going to say blame those guys until the guv got involved.
Officials now hope promises to change the policy quell the commotion....
I lost my moxie a while ago.
So the town fathers (ick) just want the STORY to GO AWAY with NO REAL CHANGE, huh?
Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
