Still doesn't give the school the right not to inform the parents.No, I support parents being informed what their child is doing. The school has no right to do it without the parents permission.One more big reason to pull your kids from the derainged California school systems.The San Francisco school department has been giving sex education and condoms to high school students who request it for awhile now. It is strictly confidential, between counselor/nurse and student and parents are not involved or notified.
Because about 10-15% of middle schoolers report being sexually active and because 5% become pregnant or contract STD's, the school district is considering expanding the sex education/birth control services to the middle schools.
Parents will not be notified.
SF Officials Consider Plan To Give Condoms To Middle School Students

S.F. middle schools’ condom curriculum
I can see both sides on this one. It is a parent's job to have "the talk," but not all parents believe in sex education for their adolescents/preadolescents. Some parents believe that telling them about protection or birth control will "promote" promiscuity. Those kids make uneducated and risky choices sometimes followed by life changing consequences like pregnancy or HIV.
Then again, I would be upset if my son came home with condoms and brochures BEFORE we had the "talk."
Personally, I agree with schools providing birth control/sex education to students when they ask for it, because if they're asking for it, they obviously haven't got parents who have covered the topic at home. No parent wants their thirteen year old daughter coming home pregnant or their 13 year old son coming home with an STD. So why wait until a stranger tells them about responsibility? It's not sex education that causes sexual exploration during adolescence--it's hormones and the wholely natural wish to grow up.
If the school were obligated to tell the parents about such a visit to the nurse, the kids wouldn't come for help. But they would still be sexually active, imo. Just not safely.
Where do other parents stand?
So you support kids having kids?
Kids go ahead and have sex without their parent's permission or knowledge. Better they do so safely.
You don't understand, it's all part of the left's "children belong to society" they think they make the rules and decide what's best for children. Only a fool would allow left loons anywhere near their child, they'll either try to indoctrinate them.....or worse
