condoms

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 condoms 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 sexual activity starts.

Under the policy, any student requesting a condom 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.

    Wake up, PROVINCETOWN, Mass! Spirits of uncleanness are waiting at the door to devour your children through this gateway policy. Don’t let them fill the heads of 6 grade students with the filth of fornication. What’s next? will they then justify allowing children to watch porn because its good for them to have sex the right way? c’mon!

    “The policy does not require the school to contact parents.”

    Ok that right there is where I take issue. Anytime my kid comes in an office to request condoms or counseling on anything, oh but YES I better know about it! That is what’s wrong! Society is totally taking away the parents role in a child’s life these days. Everyone says we aren’t good parents anymore, well gatdamn, back up and let us be. I would be livid if I found out my child went to school and got condoms without my knowing. I was always under the ‘impression’ that school and home were supposed to work together in the best interest of the child…

    So the school will contact you when your child has on a belt buckle with a letter on the front for fear of gang association, they will contact you when your child has too much olive oil in their hair, but we, the parents, can’t get a heads up when our kids are asking about sex?!?!?!?!?!

    i dont know. children have the internet, cable tv, and disfunctional family enviroments to teach them everything we hide from them. i feel 1st grade may be a little young but 8th grade is way too late. and sex education is not the “the filth of fornication” either (smh, religious baby boomers…), it will save lives. it teaches children how to protect themselves from hiv and early child birth, so they can continue their education and become productive adults. the problem is that we dont have enough schools progressive enough to push an agenda that will make improvments on OUR high teen pregnancy rate.

    to preach abstinence to children is to teach algebra with an abacus. we have to realize we cant use religion to scare our children on the straght and narrow. if that works, y is our teen pregnancy rate so high even though we have less atheists in our race than any other race? the reason is that, believe it or not, poor children have more access to information today than the richest children of prior generations. because of this, there will be less christians than ever before and numbers will continue to decline as the internet becomes cheaper and more accessible. all “holy books” are easy to disprove with a remedial understanding of the universe.

    I’m down for teaching the young ones about protection (bc teenagers dont listen and probably wont abstain until marriage) but not that young! I hope to GOD that kids that young aren’t having sex or thinking about it!!

    I would be raising hell if some school gave my first grade a condom. Why would a first grader know anything besides that the opposite sex is nasty? These kids have not started developing yet, they don’t need to know this at this age.

    ok well…. as a new mother i would be a bit upset but…about 3 years ago my lil god son ja shaun was 5 and reciving oral from a 14 year old who lived across the street his cuz porky was reciving oral as well and his older brother may mai was having sex with the girl mind u porky is 5 and may mai is only 7. so i say go ahead give them out this is in nyc so it may seem more avarage in large city than west bubbaf**k maine. now on the contacting parents if we make it a call mom every time i ask for a rubber n i get in trouble its just leading to unprotected sex. the kid dont want mom to know they f**king. soo as a new parent as soon as my baby girl go into school i am going to buy them for her. yes i pray she keep it untill she is older but i would rather have her protect herr self then get hiv at the age of 9

    Kids today are SO exposed to MANY things like sex, predators(they been around since day 1)…It’s up to the parents to tell their kids about the DANGERS of sex and it’s better to do it when you’re married or in a relationship with these items, but how many kids WILL listen to that today when their friends are DOING it????? Not many, but the kids NEED to know this before the become a victum or a statistic…..

    I don’t care that they were given condoms…but you HAVE to inform the parents, first.

    I wasn’t even allowed to go to Sex Ed. in middle school b/c my parents thought…I dunno what they thought actually…lol..I was 18 years old worried about getting cervical cancer..lmao

    This has got to be the most outrageous thing I have read. The parents of that school need to step up to the plate. The Government has really got this twisted into thinking this is the answer.

    What type of message are you sending to the children?

    If you give these types of tools, children will begin to think it’s ok….

    Well, it’s not!

    I really hope this would be a wakeup call for the rest of the country.

    Where have the parental skills gone for our children?

    It use to be, the neighborhoods would think, it took a village to raise a child.

    WHAT???

    Now most of the elders in our communities are scare to even speak to a child when they see them doing something out of content.

    Why??

    It’s the way society has made them to be…

    Wake up America…God is soon to come back and we all must give an account of what we’ve done in this life. Bad or Good….

    I honestly dont see a problem with it because these days things are moving so fast you have to teach them to stay protected its not about some 5 year old going to go start looking for sex but why not want to support them learning before they make a mistake this could possibly prevent the number of teen pregnancy from rising once they get at the age

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/Young_Tewnes/ Young_Tewnes

    how idiotic is that u cant even get pregnant at that age…. so what is the use for giving condoms? lets remember what condoms are for it completely defeats the purpose of having condoms. not to mention just because kids are curious about it doesnt mean they need to be educated on that subject 5 and 7 year olds are not old enough. Its thoughts like this that pisses me off adults who agree with this are foolish. they are not old enough to even understand what ur trying to teach them by giving them condoms they havent lived enough i am so glad my kids are not anywhere near this school district

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/Young_Tewnes/ Young_Tewnes

    i just got finished reading the rest of ur posts for those who believe it is a good idea are plain crazy. ITs parenting like that that has kids trying ish at a young age. believing that a 5 years old is old enough to understand the consequences of there actions and what these are for. These kids can barely spell there name probably cant even do mulitplication and division but they are at age where they should be educated on SEX and protection? puh lease completely insane. its sad that any mothers and fathers would condone such nonsense

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/JaiFelton/ JaiFelton

    2-fyne-4-words? I don’t want to come across the wrong way, but that mess you said was crazy, lol, and because your godson’s neighbors are doing some outrageous things, it doesn’t mean that you have to raise your child with the same mindset. Either way, this policy is absurd. I bet you any amount of money that they are only doing this in black schools. If the children were white Mr. Grosso wouldn’t have a job any longer, and this rule would be a distant memory. Everybody enjoy your evening.

    NO 5-7 year old child should be given condoms…thats stupid. Unless you are exposing your 5-7 years to porno, explicit gangster rap, unsupervised internet, and other abnormal things…most 5-7 years old dont know what sex is let thinking about.

    Provincetown…if you are giving 5-7 yrs old condoms then why not have them hook up with perverted child molesters & pedofiles that will help them use those condoms…

    STUPID!!!

    This is a stupid headline and article. The policy seems sound, they aren’t handing condoms to first graders, the policy is that they are available with counseling to all students in the school system inclusive of elementary school.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/BrowsJai1107/ BrowsJai1107

    This is crazy!! Why does a young child know about sex and what it means? Some people aren’t raising their children correctly. I know a child’s mind wonder a lot, but to wonder on this particular subject is not right. They may wonder how they were born, but they don’t need to know about sex at this age!! They should be asking for condoms or even know what a condom is. I don’t have any children, but this article is completely absurd, but hey this is the world we live in!! It needs to change!! I don’t blame the school system entirely, some parents have to be responsible also!!

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/lileah/ lileah

    ok lil kids 5-7 are hardly think about kissing an/or girl/boy friends. an the fact that their gonna tell the kids that there gonna be providing condoms in the school is CRAZY. did they think about the kids that know nothing about sex. then their gonna tell them what their used for an how to use it. their basically teaching kids sex at a very young age. an if the school people find out that there doin the do in the school then the kids will get kicked out an what not so its all just a big disaster. an just an opinion i dought 5-7 yr olds are big enough for condoms in the 1st place.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/fsubeauty/ fsubeauty

    I see a lot of people commenting that little children should not be thinking about sex at such a young age. The fact of the matter is that not all children are being raised in the safe, protective environment that shields them from issues like sex until they’re older. Unfortunately there are children who are exposed to sexual contact at the tender ages of 5-7 whether it is through curious experimentation, molestation, or whatever. It then becomes a part of their lives and they act out what was introduced to them. Leaving a lot unprotected and open to recieving stds or pregnancy at young ages. As sad and heartbreaking as it is, it’s a reality. I’m sure this school board had their hearts in the right places.

I think instead of focusing so much on sex, which the average first grader is probably not even concerned about, we should focus on promoting them as children and promoting them to become better people. Its horrible when individuals don’t see the damage in there actions instead of helpfulness…. SMH

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/90alj06/ 90alj06

    I would commend this school for giving children this young condoms, because trust and believe me PEOPLE! I’ve been to first and second grade, and when kids go to the bathroom and in the school yards they can do some nasty s**t, like having sex with other boys or having sex with little girls whom do show signs of being molested or sexually abused and trust me just when you think your child is learning there academics they are learning something else when the parent is not around and that is penetration!

    the school should not be the blame, its the parents! you choose not to tell your child the basics of what sex is and so they learn it by watching tv or explicit material that you choose to watch and your child catches a glimpse of it! and then you wonder why your child is so curious about sex

    because you allowed it to happen.

    my parents always got mad at me for mentioning babies and sex at the age of six, but until this day they never sat down with me and gave me the talk!

    WHY? because HBO gave me the sex talk, and Larry flint taught me the basics!

    Parents allowed these things to come into the house to teach our childern what sex is!

    maybe you should sit down with your child and have a heart to heart talk with your child before scolding them about sex!

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/big-blue-beast/ big-blue-beast

    If any 1st grader asks for a condom, then the school social worker should go to the child’s home and visit the neighborhood immediately! I had 1st graders who were supposed to cut out pictures about matter look at women’s underwear in the magazine and started hooting and hollaring.

    To the previous post above me NO Provicetown is “NOT A BLACK SCHOOL”!!! No, schools are conisdered black UNLESS they are in the ACTUAL city of Boston (thank you very much). I would know because I was born there & attended schools in the suburbs of Boston for a better education in elementary and middle school. And, although my first thought was wtf??? I do agree this should happen because a lot of children are curious now a days, and I can say that being a kid in the 1990s. I know what I thought about then, and even though I did not know everything about it, sex was on the mind. I can remember kids on the bus humping,and others engaging in oral sex in elementary school. I can even remember girls asking people to suck their nipples because they said they liked the way it felt. If you ask where was my parents and the parents of the kids I am speaking about, the answer is each of us had active parents in our lives. But somewhere there was a disconnect, and the children knew at that time that it was inappropiate to talk about “sex” or ask about it even though they knew it is where the man’s p***s enters the women’s v****a & it is something that “grown ups” do! Just like with cursing in elementary school it was one of those “tabu’s” that was unspoken because our parents thought we did not know about it. The ONLY thing I think that should be done is the parents should be notified because then they can take it a step further from the nurse, and explain to the children the truth about sex. Parents should STOP being so oblivious about sex, drugs, and little kids cursing because many kids as young as elementary school partake in these activities often. Mostly because they think it is “cool”, and at this age there is A LOT of peer pressure!

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/zimmiemom/ zimmiemom

    I feel that the only thing a first grader should be taught is bad touches and good touches. Giving them condoms is just co-signing to go ahead and do it, like it’s ok! Our kids are growing up way too fast which is why fifth graders are giving birth. My oldest son is almost 10 and if he came home from school with a condom, I would blow a gasket! It’s co-signing!!!

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/ownmylife/ ownmylife

    It doesn’t necessarily say that they have been giving out condoms, but they now have a provision stating that if asked they can. I think it’s a great idea that they are getting counseling with it. More than likely that is where they will catch any abuse that may be taking place. While people are freaking about the condoms, they are forgetting that it’s just one more way to catch the evils in this world before it goes too far. You work with kids enough you realize what can happen compared what you think would never happen.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/mychicbad_badder/ mychicbad_badder

    bottom line just because you DON”T talk about it DOESN”T mean its not being done! or JUST BECAUSE I CANT SPELL OR READ THE WORD TOILET DOES NOT MEAN I DONT KNOW HOW TO USE ONE! I have a 5 year old and if she asks imma tell her! because if i dont some other lil 5 yr. old who was misinformed will tell her who she going to believe her disciplinary make you clean your room an eat broccoli momma or a cute little boy who gives her candy n stickers???? ALREADY i had a little boy tell her “we gonna have sex and it’ll be fun” she came to me and told me and said “what that mean?” because she tells me everything she’s very honest but i was so ANGRY i wanted to kill the lil ugly lil boy and his ghetto ass momma! but i didnt i told her she was NOT allowed to play with him ANYMORE and that SEX was something grown ups do and you or him are not old enough and that he was bad for saying that to her! WAS what i told her politically correct problem not by calling him bad but she is 5 and i have to talk to her in a way that a 5 year old can understand! my daughter is VERY intelligent, BUT she is still only 5! I also told her when she get 18 she can do it! LOL that and curse! give her something to look forward to! BOTTOM line is she is MY child and your children are YOURS! we teach our kids what we want them to know and the other gray areas other people will teach your kids the right or wrong thing if you DONT be their first influence!

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/AConqueror527/ AConqueror527

    What is a 1st grader even thinking about sex for? Can you read, spell or count? This is so sad!! My opinion about this is why give them CONDOMS? To prevent what? Pregnancy? A sexually transmitted disease? Really?? It is amazing how the school are so willing to give them “condoms”, but prayer is not allowed in the schools!!!! Go figure. Whether you are a believer or not, God sees and knows all, and sooner than later, He will put a stop to this madness! Believe that!!!

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/Maroons1/ Maroons1

    I think that they should spend the funds for the first graders on learning materials for the urban youth and rural poor and not spend it on condoms. May be then the US will at least step in front of at least one third world country that have surpassed the US in academic performance.

    This why I TEACH my children every day. I have a 1st grader and a 3rd grader, and trust me, they do not have and do not need any counselor or other adult teaching them about condoms at such a tender age.

    They are taught about touching and fast nasty kids that may try a nd those that use filthy language. See, this is why YOU MUST interact with your child daily, so they know who their protectors are and they TRUST you first to tell you everything that happens throughout their school day.

    For the people that condone this madness, I hope you never have children, so how dare you even speak about it being cool. For you that do have kids, be prepared to be a grandparent at 30!

    My kids read, do martial arts, play all sports and do arts and crafts, not ponder on sex. AND KEEP THE KIDS AWAY FROM ALL THAT FILTHY URBAN RADIO AND MTV AND BET VIDEOS.

    I SET THE STANDARD FOR MY CHILDREN, NOT A PUBLIC SCHOOL OR A HOMOSEXUAL CRAZED SOCIETY!

    Let children be children. This is too much. Our kids have such low self esteem and put their value in sexual promiscuity. This is sending the wrong message.

    Ok reality check people. I know the most common thought is I’m shocked, appauled, how dare day offer my child protection from sexual dieases; robbing me of the joy of being lil ray ray’s baby grandma. Wake up 5yr olds having sex is not new. When I was 12 I remeber whispers from the adults about some 9yr old who had herpes. It’s been going on for years. My ex tells his story of being 7; molested by his 12yr old babysitter and then all the little girls down the street volunteered because he was broken in…not that he was complaining. He was young in need of PARENTAL GUIDANCE. Which he got the age of 9 when he says “mom stop letting these Hoe’s babysit me” I grew up in a strick christian household but had my first makeout section at 5 and touch a p***s at 6 playing doctor thank GOD I was able to keep my big V safe through highschool. I’m not saying all kids are doing it but some are and I would rather not go to work everyday paying taxes to support your dumb ass child because you wanted to act like your “angel” hasn’t figured out the code to the tv and aren’t making their own cinemax ‘after dark’ special in their race car bed or princess tower.

    On the plus side, the school thinks these kids’ d1cks are big enough to fit in the condoms. Bless their hearts.

    Little kids, like Blk_Queen has not one iota of a clue on raising children or parental advice.

    Just shooting from the hip, you and your ex-man are victims of abuse, so now a single woman of 25 can say, “yeah, give the 1st graders condoms, so this way if they are molested, at least they will have protection? That is so sadly comical.

    About the remote control example, start by NOT HAVING SEXUAL CHANNELS ON YOUR SUBSCRIPTION! sounds like your parents did a bang up job, so you will pass it on.

    PLEASE DO NOT GIVE YOUNG MOTHERS THIS TYPE OF ADVICE!!!

    LMAO…all them kids gonna do is make water balloons out of them.

    First off the policy was to make condoms available to students in the public school up to grade 12 because of the fact that some kids stay behind and you could have a 16 year old in jr. high, so they didn’t want to say just high school. It was never meant to target first graders.

    Second off, they never gave condoms to first graders so the headline of this article is, as is the usual case with these “news stories”, blatantly false and sensationalistic.

    This whole scandal is two weeks old now and the superintendent of that one tiny school system has already apologized for it and has made changes to the policy.

    Stick to Nicki Minaj vs. Lil’ Kim stories “News One”….lmao at the incompetence.

    If someone laid down, got pregnant, and birthed the child in the first place. They need to own up to parenthood, and teach about sex and protection not the school. I feel we need to lead by example. When adults in our community are popping out child after child, and have baby daddy after baby daddy, and baby mama, after baby mama. Do we really think the kids are even going to take condoms in school seriously? Children emulate what they see everyday. If we are not leading by example, what then should we expect out of the children…Just sayin. As far as kids molesting other kids…do we honestly think they are going to say hold on wait a minute…let me put on my jimmy before I viloate you…don’t think so.

    What is the big damn deal that they are teaching these children something they need to know while they are young. Each generation gets wiser and wiser. The things we may have done back in the day that was innocent kids are not like that today. Alot of that comes from what is on tv from Family Guy that is on every channel, the music videos, the songs that are played on the radio. The world now seems to live and operate off of sex one way or another. My two oldest daughters are almost 20 and 18 and I told them the proper names for their body parts in case they heard something different in the streets and they were around 5. We must realize that we are our kids first teachers and if certain things can’t be taught at home you can’t expect for it to happen in the streets. Nowadays no time seem to soon to discuss with your kids the right and the wrongs.. I had a neighbor who daughter was 11 years old when she got pregnant and had a baby….So for the ppl that are making a big deal don’t be surprised when you kid bring a baby in your home.

    Yes you can be too young to learn something. I didnt know what sex was until roughly 6th-7th grade. We learned about sex in health class in 5th grade but I was confused (lol). A first grader should be learning educational things, and learning where its okay for someone to touch them and not touch them, but outside of that—I dont believe the school should do anymore. If a parent wishes to take it a step further so be it. A school shouldnt have the right to do this and Im apalled that parents werent informed. Smh

    It’s sad really, people are beginning to loose their morals. Who the hell gives 5 and 7-year-olds condoms, when most of them haven’t even hit the age of puberty ? They probably believe they’re balloons and blow them up or they might put water in them and throw it at each other.
