I think the middle school that is dispensing birth control pills to students is going to step into some deep doo doo. According to the news reports, school officials will begin handing out birth control pills to 11 to 13 year-olds without advising their parents. They already dispense condoms. The thinking is that since the kids are having sex, at least they should be having safe sex.

I see major problems with what they’re doing. First, if they’re dispensing prescription drugs (birth control pills), are they doing medical exams pre-dispensing and medical follow-ups afterward? And what about getting permission from the legal guardians of these minor children?

Parents have rights when it comes to who is doing what to their children and I’m not talking about sex, I’m talking about the drugs their kids are being given without their knowledge.

I’ll be very interested to see how this situation plays out.
