Gov. Daniel Patrick on Thursday called the superintendent of Cape Cod and asks her to revise the new policy of letting elementary school kids receive condoms without the parents knowing. The policy says that if a kid comes to the school nurse asking for a condom will first receive counseling about abstinence and other information. This policy will take effect in the fall to all Provincetown public school students. Superintendent Beth Singer says that it is to protect kids and sexual experimentation is not limited to age so how do you put an age on it. The governor said that he doesn't want first graders access condoms but he doesn't want first grader sexually active so he thinks that the parents should get involved in this too. But town manager Sharon Lynn says he prefers a system that watching over that consent the children about sex. Also she said that parents should responsible of their children and knows what doing. I think that they shouldn’t worry about the younger kids because most of them haven’t been through puberty for anything to happen to them. So why there so worried about them getting pregnant the percent of pregnancies are from teens they even have a show called 16 and pregnant not 10 and pregnant. They need to make sure that high school have condoms given to students there having talks with the older kids. Clearly they haven’t thought this through when they brought it up and having a messy argument over it.
