Boston Could Provide Condoms in All High Schools Throughout the City

The Blaze reports:
Boston school officials are considering a policy change to provide condoms in every public high school across the city in an effort to curb teenage pregnancy and the spread of sexually transmitted infections. Currently, only high schools with health centers are permitted to pass out condoms, but the proposed change could see that expanded to each of the city’s three dozen high schools, The Boston Globe reported. Under the proposal, students who want to get condoms would first have to receive counseling about safe sex practices. Parents could also exempt their children from obtaining them.
The great moments of public education!
