Chicago announces it will provide free condoms to fifth grade students

[Sad Bunny]

As students in Chicago make their way back to in-person learning, their schools will be stocked with hand sanitizer, thermometers and free condoms.

According to the Chicago Sun-Times, schools with fifth grade-students and older will have the free condoms after the CPS Board of Education passed a new policy in December.

The CPS Board of Education policy mandates schools with at fifth graders and older –– which adds up to more than 600 schools –– keep up a condom availability program to widen the district’s approach to sex education.The CPS sex education curriculum includes topics like puberty, hygiene, gender identity, relationships, sexual harassment, birth control, and prevention of sexual transmitted infections, according to the Sun-Times.

Elementary schools will get 250 condoms and high schools –– some of which already offer free condoms–– will get 1,000 to start. School principals can request more if the school runs out.

Free condoms just encourages the students to have sex…9 times out of 10 they ain’t using it

how did they even get that far?
I wonder if this would help because they have to know how to put the condom on, have it with them when they decide and have impulse control in the heat of the moment
