PROVINCETOWN, Mass. (CBS/AP) — How young is too young? That’s the question a Massachusetts public school is facing as they have come under fire for making c*ndoms available to all students, even those in elementary school. Children start first grade between 5 and 7 years old. Kris Mineau, president of the conservative Massachusetts Family Institute, calls the idea absurd. But Provincetown School Board Chairman Peter Grosso defended the policy, saying there is no set age when s*xual activity starts. Under the policy, any student requesting a c*ndom from a school nurse must first receive counseling, which includes information on abstinence. The policy does not require the school to contact parents. The policy was approved by Provincetown’s school committee June 10. It takes effect in the fall.

This story has me SMH...but I guess kids are being exposed to so much nowadays that there's no telling how many of them are getting their freak on at this age.

Have we as Americans lost our cotten pickin' minds?! I think homeschool would be a wonderful solution to all this madness. By the way,what does SMH stand for Sister Siebra?

There is no way my child is going to get c*ndoms from a nurse at school period. Since when is it the responsibility of the school to counsel children about s*x without the parent being in attendance? This is another far reach of progressive liberalism that can't be tolerated. It's time to take our schools and school boards back and get some sanity in education. This sounds like something P'town would do. It's all progressive liberal's living out there. If your kid is getting their "freak on" at age 10 your parenting needs to be questioned. This is another power grab for progressive liberal government agendas because parents can't manage their children. It's not going to happen in my house I can guarantee you that.

Sister Jen, yes we have lost our minds and failed to recognize what was a well thought out plan by progressive liberals. We've allowed progerssive liberals to take over our schools and school boards and now we're paying for it. One by one, state by state, city by city and town by town we're changing that. Texas just got rid of the progressive liberal school curriculum and many states are about to do the same thing. Please support and vote for all of our AACON candidates this Novemeber 2nd.

Im smiling.... but still there just has to be a fine line somewhere... AND you are correct it is not exclusively in the home, friends nor families... Children today are very vulnerable... used to be our little girls.... boys are just at risk as well

You know weather we like it or not, some children are exposed to a lot even if it's in their own homes. Now I don't know about giving kids this age c*ndoms, but we as parents can't say what our kids will or won't do. all in all I think they should inform the parents. What I don't like is the child have a right to conceal any health issues from their parents due to the HIPPA law.

So let me follow the rationale here. What you're trying to say is give a kid a c*ndom so they won't get aids if they're molested? Like your child would have time to say oh here please put this c*ndom on before you molest me? I can't connect the dots between molestation and giving young children c*ndoms. Why not teach your children what molestation is and how to avoid it if possible? Your rationale is like saying give all women c*ndoms and it would prevent getting aids from rape. I can see a molester or rapist now, do you mind holding still for a minute while I put this c*ndom on? I think you're totally confusing two different topics.

My answer is to get these liberal progressives out of our lives and start getting conservative, family value oriented leaders back in our schools and universities as soon as possible.

Wow! Don't think schools should be the place to get birth control. General stores sell c*ndoms, no need to put c*ndoms in schools.

How times change...when I was in 1st grade, my mind was focused on hopscotch and coloring books. c*ndoms was not issued in the school until I was about 14 and reached the 9th grade. And even at that age I wasn't even thinking about s*x. All I was focused on was graduating and getting a scholarship to a college or university.
Cynthia, I totally agree with you. What does a first grader know about s*x, at that age their minds should be focused on doing math and learning to read and write.

...oh, that is if one gets more time in jail for child abuse than s*x with a minor... you never know as each state have different laws on this or maybe not time just off for six weeks in a menatl hospital...depends on how much you can pay an attorney, maybe?????????????????????("I" am not smiling)

sHELBY, i HAD TO LAUGH READING YOUR STATEMENT AS IT BROUGHT TO MY MIND ALL OF THOSE cONSERVATIVES AND THOSE PREAHCERS BEING FOUND GUILTY OF CHILD MOLESTATION (and there is a Catholic priest on trial as well as a elemantry school teacher , a child care provider and a tow truck driver right now right near( in about 70 miles ranges) where I live)...but me, I live in a world where crimes as well as good deeds are not done by labels but by human behaviors of those who are caught and those who are never caught and not according to skin color ,social status, education levels, gender, age, political leanings, but only by more of the belief of this will not happen to me...I will not get caught...to that law abiding person could never do that.... (smile)

It is great taht you asked about the part of asking a molester to wait and put on a c*ndom...I say this because actually the law is also against this self protection of ones own life...
a man who raped a woman admitted he had raped her and he got not one day in jail for this...and, wy do you ask he didn't get any time is because he used the c*ndom the lady gave him before he continued to rape her...but this is the law...
as for me, my answwer is for us to do as my other did me and I did with my two girls...I allowed them to know taht they could come to me witrh any thing...that as my mom was not with me at all times...My two daughters knew that all I expected of them was to not be babys having babys...to tis day, I don't know when or if my girls had s*x before marriage, and i refused to depend on their getting pregnant and the male denyong they enen knew thm, but I do know taht they were grown out of college and married with good careers before they had any children taht "I" know of...
but, they did trust me enough to do as I said for them to please do...if you have s*x please come to me so that I can take you to get some kind of birth control...again, I don't know the first, last ime or any place in between if they had s*x...and this is none of my business any way... (smile)
and, before I go if any school FORCES A c*ndom ON A CHILD ISN'T THIS CALLED CHILD ABUSE...THINK ABOUT THIS OR HAS IT COME TO ONLY THE PARENT CAN GO TO JAIL FOR TRYING TO FORCE A CHILD TO DO AS THEY SAY DO????
AGAIN ONLY 'FOOD FOR THOUGHT" (SMILE)

And, this is something "I" as someone who have lived longer then I believe any of you have, have a problem with...is it only now that child abuse has just started or is it now only coming to the mass public...I never even heard of child s*x abuse until very late in my life...
and, here is something else we as feamles should be looking at...what age did your period start...9,10 11, 12, because a period means one can have a fertiale egg...therefore "I will repeat, lets try to protect the children first and politics and wishes and hopes and everything must take a back seat to protection of our young by any and ll means necessary...in the real world, I am sure we are all in unity on this. (smile)
and much lov to you (us) females the first line of defense of our children...(smile)

...and, in the real world child molestation is not limited to out side of the home either. (smile)
No "I" am not for or against parents having the first - last say...but I am sure ALL parents don't send their child to school with a gun either or to be molested by their teachers or anyone else...
but there is something called NO MAN IS AN ISLAND also...so lets live in the real world where bad things happens to good people and children as young as two months old can and are molested s*xually by : friends, family members and strangers as well. (smile)

Two things came to my mind when I first heard about this issue...
1. c*ndoms are a great protection against aides and other deadly deseases tranmiitted by way of s*x...
2. Child molestors have no A-G-E limits restrictions.
Does any one get where "I" am going in trying to save a child's life if not their physical, if not their mental state?!? (smile)

O. K. maybe off subject but my "N tends to get up when "I" hear any excuse for a child will or will not have s*x, get raped, ect...so I ask which is Conservative thinking and which is Liberal thinnking...
1. She would not have been attacked if she had not been dressed that way?
2. teaching youth about s*x is bad for them...hell I know it is going to be the Jones girl to get preganat but not mine because we are a _________fmaily?
3. giving children s*xual protectio witll cause them to think it is alright to have s*x.
AND, WHAT "i" AM REALLY UPSET WITH IS THE IDEA...THAT ONE DAY WE WILL HEAR A DEFENCE ON "IF THAT CHILD HAD FOUGHT BACK THEY WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN MOLESTED"!!!!
or am "I" totally whacked out for believing I saw something just like this on this blog?!? But, from where I come from in the real world "I" have heard too many cases like this...if they had not fought back I would not have killed them...in Ca. you get less time in prison for murder of your rape victim than you get for only rape!!!!
We sure don't need to be helping cromes against our children, and I say this because someone can very well get away with molestation for using the c*ndoms handed by these children...and end up only geting child abuse for this...
I HAVE ALLOWED THIS POST TO GET PERSONAL SO i LEAVE YOU NOW...thanks for the post Siebra.
