Twelve Condoms a Week?

Tweet Share

Former teacher Jane Mack-Cozzo notes in the March 2006 issue of The American Enterprise that the Berkeley, California, public high school system has announced a new student organization, the Condom Club. Broadcast over the school public intercom system was the invitation for all students sexually active and thinking about becoming sexually-active to attend the meeting. They will, according to the announcement, receive “12 free condoms a week” and “free food.”

Twelve condoms a week? The writer chalks up the number to “just another example of Bay Area generosity with public funds.” Or perhaps the success of Bay Area student self-esteem programs

Only when we see how lost we are, we can find our way again. Only when we bury what’s dead can we experience life again. Only when we lose our religion can we be amazed by grace again.
