There is absolutely no wonder that America is going to hell in a handbasket. The rampant moral depravity in our country is beyond belief.
I take you to the bluer than blue state of Massachusetts where condoms are being distributed to children, and I mean elementary school children--without parental approval, naturally.

Good news: Mass. school now may limit condoms to, um, fifth-graders and older
"A moral victory, my friends: From now on, if you want a condom from the school nurse in Provincetown, you’ll need to be at least 10 years old.
Or nine, I suppose, if you happened to skip a grade.
'A day after the new policy caused a media firestorm, School Committee chairman Peter Grosso said that Provincetown would probably limit condoms to fifth-graders and older. His stance stemmed from a conversation he had with Superintendent Beth Singer, author of the rule set to take effect this fall.
“She said the School Committee is going to have to revisit the policy and definitely reword it so it’s self-explaining, and possibly wording it so that maybe there would be an exclusion of the real young grades,’’ Grosso said.
In a rare intervention in a local matter, [Gov. Deval] Patrick called Singer yesterday morning to urge her to keep the free condoms out of the Cape Cod community’s elementary school, which serves preschoolers to sixth-graders…
School Committee member Carrie Notaro said that while she prefers the current policy, she is willing to compromise.
“If parents are that upset, and we have to revise it to fifth- and sixth-graders, then that would be fine with me,’’ said Notaro, who has a preschooler and a second-grader in the elementary school.'
No condoms unless you’re in junior high: Way to lay down the law, Deval. Incidentally, anyone think he would have opened his mouth here if he wasn’t up for re-election and facing two Republicans who are milking this story for all its worth?"

a small light of sanity, in a dark insane time.
For once, I agree. I think this was a poorly-conceived idea. And what makes it worse is that, according to one report I heard, the parents could not opt their childrenout of the program. That's pretty unusual, and very absurd.
