Political Quotes

On the recordFebruary 4, 1994
The holding from the court overturning the New York City Schools' condom policy decreed: The petitioner parents are being compelled by State authority to send their children into an environment where they will be permitted, even encouraged, to obtain a contraceptive device, which the parents disfavor as a matter of private belief.

We do not find that the policy is essential.
