Provincetown Schools Make Condoms Available to All Students

Provincetown's school committee voted to allow every student, apparently even first-graders, to obtain condoms at school, beginning in September. There are currently 152 students in the entire Provincetown school district. The school committee doesn't expect first-graders to actually ask for condoms. "We didn't want to pick an age, and I really don't believe we're going to get first-graders asking for a condom, as a practical matter," school committee chairman Peter Grosso said. Gov. Deval Patrick doesn't like it. Bostonist is okay with schools giving kids access to condoms, and also providing appropriate sex education. We also know first-graders who really shouldn't be aware of what a condom is used for. [Cape Cod Times]
