MIDDLE SCHOOL AGREES TO PROVIDE YOUNG GIRLS BIRTH CONTROL

A follow up to yesterday’s story. The Portland School Committee voted 5-2 in favor and, the story notes, “students decide for themselves whether to tell their parents about the services they receive.” (AP)

From the Boston Herald: "I have a daughter in a public middle school. I know how hard it is to get a school-sanctioned Tylenol on campus. I’ve fought the “no cupcakes, they might have peanuts!” fight. Some schools are getting rid of the snack machines out of fear of giving our children access to high-fructose corn syrup. But these same liberal educators are going to let the school nurse pump my 11-year-old full of progesterone so she can “get her groove on” without fear of pregnancy? Please. Just give her the cupcake." (Boston Herald)
