It''''s nice to see you take some time and think your responses out before you post. Do you think that soldiers don''''t have kids? Or is it that the military isn''''t resonsible for thier medical care? Stop and think before you click publish next time and you won''''t look so foolish.

Mrs.Rowe,yer got it that debate..like it or not..I thank ye as a vet..I am 53. I was a pupil in Maine school system..But yer platform on birth control is wrong..Yer out of line..It is not yer duty to put girls on birth control.Middle School is not the bloody military..I am glad ye was never a staff member at my school years ago.I hope they fire yer asre..Ye got no business in this area. They are girls..Yer know full well that birth control is FOR adults..Did ye think ye could push this..Putting children on birth control is a form of abuse..Why..Yer enableing the predators in the schools access to their prey knowing the girl is on birth control..Yer don''t think it happens in schools and the home..Think again..Parents fight this..It is yer duty as parents to teach sexx ed..No school has the right to this..I am appalled our taxes are used for this trash..I see this woman as trash and the reason is she not suppose to do this..They are childern not adults..Go work in a care home for the aged..Paws off lady..I am an Aunt..

The fact is that most parents in this country are doing a lousy job of raising their kids. Just take a look around; kids who watch so much TV that they are overweight and lazy, parents who buy their kids guns, parents who care more about their kids being popular than good people, the whole ghetto culture. We see if with kids as young as 5. It''s a sad statement of what we value in our culture. Violence, blood and gore is glamorized but ooooh, ***, that''s bad. Crazy!

"This ''''report card'''' and the birth control issue are just continuations of the erosion of the parent in the school. Make no mistake about it, the schools and the NEA believe that you as a parent are incompetant in rearing your child. That the education in all life aspects are best handled by them - ''''qualified teachers''''. As a parent, have the courage to stand up for yourself and your children against what is becoming a monster"

A school official in a nearby town (Manchester, CT) wants to send home parent report cards - the school grading YOU as a parent to your child. I have seen self evaluation forms for parents but never one where I was ''judged'' by the school. And by what stretch of the imagination do school officials believe they are empowered to make such an evaluation.

This ''report card'' and the birth control issue are just continuations of the erosion of the parent in the school. Make no mistake about it, the schools and the NEA believe that you as a parent are incompetant in rearing your child.

Imagine the shock of the pediatrician telling you that your daughter is being routinely medicated by the school system without your knowledge of what the prescription is. What if you had to take your child to the ER and their treatment was based on the assumption that the child was NOT on birth control. "Sir/Maam, is your daughter on any medications? No."

The state is dealing with it in that it is against the law for *** with any child under 12 (I think that was the right age) regardless of the age of the other partner. The school system is legally obligated to report child abuse which is what this crime falls under. Don''t report it....go to jail. No arguments from me!

Rowe attended the University of Maryland''s Walter Reed Institute of Nursing on an Army scholarship and spent the years after graduation working as a pediatric nurse in the Army.


Do we have alot of need for pediatrics in the military? How young are they accepting in armed services?

How on earth do you "defend" providing a life-changing, possibly health-damaging, product to minor children without their parent(s) knowledge or consent??
If these birth-control pills caused a blood clot or stroke (which they have been known to do), the minor child''s PARENT(s) would have to SIGN for them to go into the hospital to treat it!
This is outsider intervention gone AMUCK!!

I agree, Why not include all girls the moment they are born, pedofiles and child molesters don''t care about age.

Sadly Maine has made a real mistake in their decision to allow "young" school age children to receive the patch/birth control items without even notifying the parents. I suspect that many other schools throughout the country will now follow suit. So lets take some more RIGHTS of the parents away while we are at it.It seems to me as though the school teachers, the school board, and the State have more control over what is "good and proper" for our children than even the parents have. It makes me ILL and those who voted for this should be ASHAMED of themselves. I DARE the State, and especially the schools to even attempt to tell me what is the BEST thing for my child !! In most cases the school board can''t even control their own teachers much less tell the parents what is RIGHT.
Every day we see on the news where some teacher has sexually molested one of our kids....and you think you can tell us as parents what is RIGHT? I suggest you take a real long look at your own system first, like monitoring your teachers!!!
