If the memo was sent home for me to sign(as it seems it was) allowing them to treat my daughter and I didn't read it all properly then I have no legs to stand on. I failed my daughter and my family by not properly taking the time to read what she came home with. The only people to blame are the parents who neglected to inform themselves about the healthcare they signed their kids off to receive. The opportunity for parental permission was given unless I am understanding these events improperly.

Do we know if any of them that received it objected to it beforehand?

Following the program's widespread publicity, parents and religious groups spoke out against schools distributing birth control to minors without parental permission.

This is what's confusing to me. If they didn't give permission, did they sign something stating otherwise?

So, distributing birth control to your minor daughter without your parental permission would be ok then?

 

Personally, I would want to have reviewed the paperwork first.

 

But as we all know, there are untold numbers of children whose parents want them to be fixed - in any number of ways - at school. Sad but true. No telling how many get their only decent meal, only decent healthcare, only decent recreation/exercise, only decent discipline and, of course, only decent education at a public school.

Parents were informed of the program from the start and given the choice of opting out of any or all of the services but have largely supported the program, Waldhorn said, but it had not been reported on until the New York Post wrote about it during the weekend.

 

Between 1 percent and 2 percent of parents sent back an opt-out form, she said.

That's not what happened here though. But to address your question, if I have my choice between the two, I'm probably picking the non-pregnant teenage daughter.

There were questions early on if that was what happened or not. That's why I asked the question, I wasn't sure.

 

That's an easy answer but it really doesn't answer the question. I'm sure none of us want our daughter to become pregnant as a teen. But again, that wasn't my question.

If they are handing out birth control without my permission to my minor then I'll be upset. But, I'd choose it over them NOT having access to it.

 

Anyways, moot point as they did the right thing it seems.
