A bill in the California State Senate aims to ensure schools will have at least two locations offering free condoms to students with accompanying information on proper use.
House Speaker Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., ripped House Democrats Friday after no one in the minority voted for the Parental Bill of Rights Act, which would give parents access to school curriculum and reading lists.State Sen. Caroline Menjivar introducedThe bill will be brought before the Senate Education Committee next week.
"What we're asking the schools to do is to provide condoms in two different locations throughout their campus, and not where a student will have to go to a teacher, an administrator to ask for them," said Menjivar. Menjivar said she is"trying to remove the shame" of asking for contraceptives, saying the pressure of the situation often drives students to forgo condoms entirely.
