We must stop outsourcing parental responsibility willingly to schools, day care centers, and government. If we want our kids to be respectable adults, we must stop signing broad consent forms whether literally of figuratively that allow someone else raise our children. If you are going to have kids, you have a responsibility not only to make sure someone make decisions for them, but to make those decisions yourself.

School Board Approves Birth Control Prescriptions at Maine Middle School
|
| PORTLAND, Maine — Pupils at a city middle school will be able to get birth control pills and patches at their student health center after the local school board approved the proposal Wednesday evening. |
| The plan, offered by city health officials, makes King Middle School the first middle school in Maine to make a full range of contraception available to students in grades 6 through 8, according to the state Department of Health and Human Services. |
| Students treated at the centers must first get written parental permission, but under state law such treatment is confidential, and students decide for themselves whether to tell their parents about the services they receive. |
