Political Quotes

“I rarely find myself in agreement with the rulings of the New York State Court of Appeals. They are on one side of the political spectrum, and I am on the other. But a panel of this court, the New York State Court of Appeals, sitting in Brooklyn, hit the nail on its head when it agreed with a group of concerned parents who argued that the distribution of condoms in the New York City schools, without parental consent, violated the parents' Federal constitutional rights and it violated their rights under New York's State Constitution. Specifically, the court said that since parents by law must send their children to school, the condom program trampled all over their protections of due process by stripping the parents of their rights to regulate the behavior of their minor children to the best of their ability. But you know, this court ruling did not even slow down the social engineers who know so much better than the rest of us. They believe that our children are better off with condoms in their pockets than with morals in their behavior. This 'safe sex' condom lie is creating controversy in schools all across the country, including North Carolina, I might add. In Chapel Hill, the school board voted to make Chapel Hill High School the first school in our State to distribute condoms to students. Every student, under this decision by the Chapel Hill school board, will have a right to obtain condoms, and parents will not even be informed, much less asked.”
