Personally, I'm trying to figure out why a school has a "health center" to begin with, what, the nurses office didnt hold enough responsibilities to justify extra tax revenues?

That has nothing to do with liberalism... it is just plain stupidity!!!

Birth control on an 11 year old? Any school with a councilor even halfway competent will tell you that sexual activity in a child that young generally indicates sexual abuse or severe parental neglect (and BTW, the liberals are the ones who wanted them in the schools).

Plus, unlike condoms, "the pill" is actually a prescription medication (which can have rare but severe side effects). Even if this was high-school I think I'd be wrong (did I miss something or have condoms stopped working for some unexplained reason?) The pill is also a dumb idea since it does nothing for diseases and they are probably a bigger risk than pregnancy.

I don't think we'll all agree about at what age the line should be drawn on sexual activity, but Jesus F@#'ing Christ, 11?!!!! Name me ONE well known Liberal not currently confined to a mental institution who is in favor of that (or at least prove how this stupid nurse is a liberal and not just an idiot).... and all this behind the parent's back no less!

Parents can opt in for their child to have access to the health center but no where on the paperwork does it tell parents that part of that will be to give birth control medications to children as young as 11, without parental consent or notification.

Children are being sexualized younger and younger. Considering how many teachers have been busted lately having sex with students this will make it much more convenient to have sex with a child without the risk of pregnancy. I think there is a growing predatory movement towards children.

Some of the things children have been exposed to in some schools by "educators" is beyond belief. Parents need to wake up.

Condoms won't stay on an 11 year old boy.

Taking a different view here:

- it is well documented that adolescents are having sex earlier. Adolescents as young as 10, 11 and 12 are more commonly experimenting with sex, and few have access to sex education--hence the increase in STIs, and early pregnancy is rising.

- HIV cases have been reported in 11 year olds.

- contraception is a means of prevention and should be viewed as a help-mate rather than an intrusion (see the thread on abortion).

- health clinics in schools are often an extension of a health care facility, and provide services to middle and high schools at no additional cost to the tax-payer. The clinics are run by professional personnel from the medical centre, university or hospital that officiates the programs.

- having health clinics in schools has reduced many health concerns in various communities and has provided needed emergency care and/or short term care for in-school adolescents.

- many health care programs in schools also offer training programs for the student body; students who are then prepared to provide additive information to their peers. Peer training on all levels, adolescent or adult, has proven more successful than programs that do not share commonality of age, gender and culture.

Would that make the banning of the teaching of evolution in schools "conservatism at its worst?"

Or maybe you'd consider that to be conservatism at it's "best," I don't know...
