Mass. elementary school district will provide first graders with condoms! Not a joke!

<p>Not to belabor these issues - but back in the day I went to an open house at school for my then 6th grader. The teacher was open, and informed us bluntly that it was a smart class (she was right, many went on to the Ivy League and other great schools), but that the kids were way too sexualized for their age and stage of development and that it was hurting the learning environment. Most of the parents in that room were grateful for her input and surprised that she was so open. She pulled it off easily because was a professional, experienced, and sincere. And that is what matters more than anything else. She reported that the students did tone it down a few notches thereafter. She helped the parents do their thing.</p>
