State to Child Molestors: The Candy Store is Open
Ok - I had to get this rant out quick so I freely
admit this is alarmist response without any real research (See Benford's
Law)
My friend at work tells me that some elementary schools are considering providing free birth control pills to all the girls. Hmm - let me think about that for a minute. Are you friggin insane?
To be fair let us look at the arguments:
1) Parents are not involved with their children
2) Children are having sex
3) Children and getting pregnant
4) We have to protect the children (I KNEW IT WAS IN THERE SOMEWHERE!)
The school's answer?
A) Give the girls birth control pills
B) Parents don't have to be notified
C) Problem solved
Ok, that seems to be about it yes?
So the argument goes that parents are not involved with their children. Well - this may be a the case for many, but not all children. But I know for a fact that this is not the case in every case. I work with a number of parents all of whom are actively involved with their children. They are sports coaches, scout coaches, bowling instructors, youth leaders - and yet their children would fall under the same regulations as the child who's parent is not involved. Decisions made by the few - for the masses. Hmm.
The argument also goes that children are having sex. My GOD! This has never happened before! Why haven't I heard of this? Children? Having sex? What could have caused this? Why I don't know - perhaps living in a society which has been taught that sex is a private matter not to be discussed with anyone - no one else's business, that oral sex is not sex, that sex in all it's forms are a right of each individual and that alternate forms of sex are more acceptable that heterosexual .... never mind. Im sure all this will be lost on the average reader.
Ok, so how do we stop our children from having sex? Well - get involved. But the parents are not involved. Ok - so in those cases we need a plan. I say, if a child is having sex and the parents are not involved then I do not want my tax dollars being continually dumped into medication that a sixth grader can get for free but neither my nor my wife's health insurance will cover for my wife. So, I would much rather all children (boys and girls) have tubal ligation and vasectomy on the first day of 5th grade. Problem solved.
My solution has the added benefit of COMPLETELY eliminating any possibility of birth - where birth control and condoms fail so very frequently (according to popular opinion).
Which ever solution you select they both should have the added benefit of reducing our criminal population. The argument goes something like this:
First you have accepted that children are having sex.
Secondly you admit that the sex is consensual.
Thirdly you have told the child (through your actions of supporting safe sex) that this is a permissible act for a child
Thereby you have remove legal punishment for a child participating in a consensual sexual act
No - follow the slippery slope here
A child molester hangs out near the local school and asks teenagers for sex, eventually finds one and is arrested. His lawyer argues that:
1. Because pre-adult sexual activity is condoned and supported by the state
2. Because the sexual relationship was consensual between two partners
His client cannot under the law be prosecuted.
Problem solved - the candy store is open.
This is yet another reason why my wife and I have chosen not to have children.
The government (ie the State through the School) is making both a Moral and Medical decision for the parent (who is by the way the legal guardian of the child). That decision is to (currently) offer the child pregnancy protection through the use of "The Pill". While this appears to be a choice now - it lays the groundwork for forced medication in the future.

May 2010 Teachers Meeting Minutes, Gophers Junior High-school, Anytown USA
Mrs. Smith (Biology Teacher) We offer our students birth control - yet they are still getting pregnant. When I asked Suzy how she got pregnant she told me she doesn't take the pill. She sells it to her mother for $5.
Mr. Jones (Physical Education: My God - black marketing. How do we stop that?
Mrs. Thomson (School Nurse): I could watch the girls take the pill every morning.
Mrs. Jackson (Principal): Perfect idea Mrs. Thomson. Begining Monday every girl must report to the nurses office. You will administer the medication to each girl personally.
Mr. Jones (Physical Education): Did everyone notice how our football team was a bit lacking last year? A few winning games sure would drive up attendance at the games. That would bring the school much needed funding next year. What we really need are some Steroid shots for the linebackers.
