Letter to the editor: Condom decision

To the editor:

Just what gives the schools the right to hand out condoms? Their job is to teach, not to interfere with parents’ decisions about their children. It is up to parents to talk to their child about sex and and the use of condoms.

And why is money being spent on something other than educating students? What a sad day it is to hear of such a decision in the Lawrence public school district. Shame on those who made this decision.
