Oregon School District Offering Condoms To 6th Graders

2 Timothy 3:1-8 But realize this, that in the last days difficult times will come. For men will be lovers of self, lovers of money, boastful, arrogant, revilers, disobedient to parents, ungrateful, unholy, unloving, irreconcilable, malicious gossips, without self-control, brutal, haters of good, treacherous, reckless, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, holding to a form of godliness, although they have denied its power; Avoid such men as these. For among them are those who enter into households and captivate weak women weighed down with sins, led on by various impulses, always learning and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth. Just as Jannes and Jambres opposed Moses, so these men also oppose the truth, men of depraved mind, rejected in regard to the faith.

An Oregon school district said children as young as 11-years-old will now be able to obtain condoms from the school with no questions asked.

The Gervais School District said the move comes after a survey of students said that 7 percent of high school girls had gotten pregnant and that 42 percent of the students said they “never” or “sometimes” used protection during sex.

“Over the past few decades, teen pregnancy in our community has remained somewhat constant, but higher than the board felt comfortable with,” Superintendent Rick Hensel posted online.  He said the board voted to include middle school students because of the closeness of the high school and middle school plus the fact some middle school girls have gotten pregnant.

Amita Vyas, a professor at George Washington University who directs the school’s Maternal and Child Health Program said that 6th grede is “incredibly young” to be giving out condoms.  However, she said that educating students and keeping them interacting with parents and teachers is a way to decrease teen pregnancy.
