A Maryland Bill with the aim of withdrawing a ban on the sale of contraception in public school machines has led to a heated debate, whereby some legislators warn that it could lead to condom dispensers in elementary and pre -school institutions.
“It makes no sense,” said Maryland State del. Kathy Seliga on Wednesday on “America reports. “” You discriminate against traditional families who do not want their 14-year-old daughter to go to a high school and walk through the hallway for a sex machine. “
The Maryland House of Delegates voted to promote legislation that would eliminate criminal penalties for the sale of contraception, including condoms and contraception, via vending machines in public schools. According to the current law, offenders are confronted with a fine of $ 1,000.
Szeliga and other critics insisted on changes to limit condomer machines to secondary schools, but their efforts were not successful.
“We have offered an amendment to the bill … to just say, only secondary schools,” said Szeliga, a Republican. “But they rejected it.”
Proponents of the bill state that legislation is not about demanding schools to install condomer machines, but instead remove outdated criminal penalties.
Democratic state of Maryland del. Nicole Williams defended the bill during a recent session of the General Assembly of the State.
“It doesn’t dictate what school systems should and should not do,” said Williams. “It is not forced anyone to do anything or suggests that they have to do something. It simply removes a criminal fine. The air will not fall if we go through this bill.”
After the progress of the account, Szeliga posted on XPreviously Twitter, to express her indignation.
“MD legislators have officially lost their minds. Condomic servants in schools – from kindergarten to secondary schools? Yes, you read that well. Thanks to HB 380The ‘condoms for children’ account, your child’s primary school could soon have a colorful condomic engine in the hallway and secondary schools will be a one-stop shop for contraception. What is the next step, hormone therapy in the recess? This is ideology about common sense. Parents, wake up! “

Szeliga warned that this legislation could open the door for broader contraception access to schools.
“They play chess,” she said. “First we remove the penalties so that we can also get the machine in high school and other schools, and next year they will return and they will go contraceptive pills, plan B, condoms.”

The policy of sex education in schools has been a political problem nationally. In ChicagoPublic schools were confronted with a recoil after it was reported that they have already introduced lessons in kindergarten and the first year about sexual education and gender identity.
Szeliga, a grandmother of two girls, said she fears that this bill could expose children too early to adult subjects.
“Post this at a daycare center or kindergarten,” she said. “I am a grandmother of two beautiful 10 and 7-year-old girls and I cannot imagine that they walk through the hall and see a colorful condom machine.”

She also wondered how parents would navigate such conversations at a young age.
“With condoms and other things in it, and then having to have a conversation with a 7-year-old,” she said. “You know,” Mama, what’s a condom? What’s in that machine? ‘
The bill is now going to the Senate to the Senate for consideration.
