Remember the school in Maine that voted in favor of distributing birth control pills to 11 year olds, without parental consent? Some parents decided not to roll over on the issue:

A conservative civil liberties group said it will proceed with a lawsuit against the Portland, Maine, School Committee for refusing the reconsider its policy on prescription contraceptives for middle school students as young as 11.

“This is an issue where the rights of parents must be protected,” said Jay Sekulow, chief counsel of the American Center for Law and Justice (ACLJ), which specializes in constitutional law.

…

The ACLJ said it has heard from more than 40,000 Americans across the country, including hundreds of Maine residents, who consider the Portland school system’s contraceptive policy “dangerous.”

“Unless school officials make an 11th hour concession, we will move forward and file a lawsuit within a matter of weeks to remove this policy,” the ACLJ said in a news release on Thursday.

For a refresher on the program, parents sign a permission slip, allowing the school to provide their child with health care. With this program, the permission slip gives the school the authority to provide contraception to children as young as 11. By the way, it isn’t legal for 11 year olds to have sex in Maine.

The policy also violates Maine law by not reporting all illegal sexual activity involving children 13 years old or younger, the ACLJ said.

Promoting pedophilia? No, just not reporting it, so it’s more like tolerating pedophilia, or excusing pedophilia. “Oh well, the children are doing it anyway, so we should help make it less dangerous for them.”

What’s next: a needle exchange program for pre-schoolers?

Oh, the most important part of this, the service is confidential, so the parents do not need to be notified if the school gives a little girl the pill. Little 11 year old Suzie can get her script and continue to be molested, and the parents are non-the-wiser. Classy.

I wonder how many have considered homeschooling?
