I have been following the news story on this school and I am confused about a few things. First, these children are under 13 years of age - is anyone monitoring who they are having sex with? Doesn't stautory rape possibly figure into this?

Second, one of the board members pointed out that this was necessary to prevent unwanted pregnancies. I have to wonder: exactly how many pregnancies occur in this school's stuent body (no pun intended) annually? If it is a huge number, perhaps education on pregancy prevention and even abstinence is in order.

This is the same school district that is mired in a fiscal mess having gone millions over budget with little or no explanation. Are they trying to draw attention away from the missing millions?

by the way, this is not the first scholl in the US or even in Maine to offer birth control so why has the Press jumped all over ito
