From "Schools new prom fever: Giving condoms to kids" by Bob Unruh, posted 4/7/08 at WorldnetDaily.com
A school board in Arizona has decided 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.".
A spokeswoman in the office of Supt. Paul McDonald confirmed the condoms would be handed out to the event celebrants, along with other items.
"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."
She said Bisbee High Principal Jim Gordon could provide additional details, but Gordon declined to respond to a message left by WND.
WND has also reported a court's conclusion that a law requires children to be taught how to use condoms.
But handing out condoms in association with a traditional high school dance still horrified a number of parents and others in the Bisbee area.
Read the rest of the story.I thought school boards were supposed to represent parents and taxpayers. It seems as though they more often represent the interests of liberal educators...
