<p>Wow</p>
<p>[Boston</a> College threatens disciplinary action against students distributing condoms - BC - Your Campus - Boston.com](<a href=“http://www.boston.com/yourcampus/news/bc/2013/03/boston_college_threatens_disciplinary_action_against_students_distributing_condoms.html]Boston”>http://www.boston.com/yourcampus/news/bc/2013/03/boston_college_threatens_disciplinary_action_against_students_distributing_condoms.html)</p>
<p>Dear Bigdoglover : Local coverage of this story was active with television crews at the entrance to campus seeking interviews with students/faculty and others entering and exiting the campus.</p>
<p>Boston College has a fairly obvious perspective on this issue which is no secret to those applying to or attending the university. That said, one could say that the campus has not made a serious issue “in public” on the sexual health question over the last couple of years (as discussed in the article) or in the last six years with which my family has been affiliated with campus.</p>
<p>It is an interesting story because the ACLU is trying to get involved. If you don’t like the rules of the school, clearly a Catholic school then , well no one forced you to go there. Live with it or leave…simple as that</p>
<p>lje62,</p>
<p>I couldn’t agree more. What I find curious (and as scottj points out) is why the school admin has seemed to suddenly make a big issue of it. In the coverage it led me to believe the administration sort of turned a blind eye to the issue for years and just now are clamping down.</p>
<p>to sending their kids to a school that agitates against condom use-maybe not Catholic parents but definitely the parents of kids who are not Catholic. The non-catholics may have only been dimly aware of this issue. Now it is loud and clear. This makes the school a more dangerous place. This reminds me of the last pope who condemned the use of condoms while he was in Africa. In my opinion he has blood on his hands.</p>
<p>Or you could just buy condoms at the drugstore … Haha</p>
<p>What part of Catholic School don’t people understand? BC is becoming the go-to school for students who have been rejected from the Ivies. If you plan to attend, you should be aware of the beliefs of the school.</p>
<p>For some kids, maybe not most, it’ll end up making the difference between use and non-use of condoms. It will certainly not be difference between having sex and not having sex. It may actually remind them they can get STD’s from intercourse. Perhaps the distributors should remind people that condoms are not 100% protection from STD’s and the typical failure rate for pregnance is 9%. It is still a little chancy. I did hear of a girl in a heartbroken Catholic family who acquired chronic hepatitis- no condoms. If there are people willing to distribute them for free why stop them? …if the end result is fewer STD’s. Is the sin not greater if you have sex with no condoms?</p>
