DoulaLC, that 8 year old thing with condoms.was Montgomery County MD, Schools... which are only about 20-30 miles from where I am in VA. It was a HUGE local issue just a couple years ago. And it's a really big school system.

Sounds like a local issue... thankfully it was not widespread.

smoothy... are you sure it wasn't 8th "grade"? I found the topic surprising so have been trying to find info on it and have only found information about their programs in 8th and 10th grade, which some found questionable.

These were kids younger than one would expect any sexual activity from even today. That's why there was the big stink. In the 8th grade it would not be a surprise to anyone. Not even when I was in the 8th grade in the early 70's.

I'll do some digging around if I can remember... don't have much time left tonight. Picking the right words for the query is critical.

It got killed before it ever took effect....but it was a big fight.
