N.Y. Begins Giving Out Condoms to Students
- Share via
NEW YORK — High school students in the city were given free condoms Tuesday as part of a controversial anti-AIDS program that started the same day gay activists gave more than 100,000 condoms to commuters on their way to work.
The Board of Education program, which drew protests from some irate parents, provided dozens of condoms to students at John Dewey High School in the Sheepshead Bay section of Brooklyn.
It was the first school to participate in a planned citywide distribution of condoms in schools to help combat the transmission of AIDS.
