What is this alarming thing I am hearing about giving out condoms in schools? How can this be?

Please listen to me carefully I'm saying this with respect and love: distributing condoms in schools is like setting a bait for a fish. Giving out condoms is not only a protection for safe sex it's also an encouragement to have sex. It's like saying, if or when the opportunity comes, use the condom.

The least opportunity some of these students get, they are going to hide and have sex. What the Ministry of Education should do is to find out from all the teachers what they think, what's their opinion about handing out condoms in schools.

They should also find out from all the parents and from the public before coming to an agreement about this. And even if their response would have been a 'yes', my view still remains no, it's wrong.

If, for instance, students should engage in sexual intercourse by using the condoms it may burst, leaving a girl pregnant or catching a disease or getting a sexual infection.

Giving out condoms is a great carelessness. What they should do instead, is to give the students edifying books on how to refrain from early sex and how to conduct themselves in the right way. School children need a strong dose of ethics, ethical medicine.

Do you agree with me that handing out condoms in the school is like setting a bait for a fish or a rat? What they need to do is to go the extra mile in seeing that no student enters school with any illegal weapons, such as knives, ice-picks or guns instead of handing out condoms.

My final point is that many people seem to be in agreement with the handing out of condoms in schools. On the other hand, it looks to me like the majority of the people are against it, and this is very good.
