A Cool Smoke after Hot Sex

There is an update about the King Middle School in Maine.

Having read a lot of the comments, there seems to be other issues with the Board.

Of interest to note is that the "health clinic" is "housed "in the school. One comment seemed to indicate that the actions of the health clinic were separate from the school. If so, then why is the School Board making a decision about how the health clinic will operate.

Frequently, so I have heard, some people like to smoke a cigarette after the physical exertion of passionate love making.

When I was a kid, well a "mature high school'er", I always heard that girls that smoked put out.

Both sex and smoking are illegal at some age. I think 11, 12 and 13 year olds are still illegal, but I am not sure about that.

Why doesn't the School Board provide "the nicotine patch" to those youngsters who ask for it along with the "the pill". Seems logical to me. Don't want the kids to get lung cancer. Those kids are going to smoke anyway. They won't tell their parents. Hit the "Mighty Mouse" cue: "Here he comes to save the day!!!".

The school board could easily put nicotine patches in the non-disclosed health services they provide. The unknowing parent, who trusts the school's authority, will never know.

I was under the impression that if a parent is found negligent to the point that the welfare of the child was endangered, the State had a legal process to deal with this negligence.

But if a parent is negligent when it comes to the child's sexual behavior, the State somehow decides to "take care of the welfare of the child" without notifying the parent. And the School Board holds up their hands since it is out of their control.
After they exerted their control to start the process.

Am I misssing something?
