Unrealistic On-Campus Condom Ban
March 5, 2009 Posted in College
Frustrated that her college does not distribute birth control, Stonehill College senior Katie Freitas decided she would do it herself.
After collecting hundreds of free condoms from two family-planning agencies, she and about 20 classmates placed boxes of the contraceptives in student dormitories across the Easton campus last month. But when administrators at the Catholic school learned of the effort, they quickly intervened and collected the condoms, citing the college’s ban against distributing birth control on campus.
Should students at catholic colleges be allowed to bone freely? Join the discussion!

I went to John Carroll in the late 90's, and they had similar policies. One of the best was if you were caught having sex, they would fine you. I always wondered if that somehow became prostitution. Hell, I planned on playing a porno really loud to see if they'd fine me for that too:P
On topic, going to a Catholic school does not require one to be Catholic, or even Christian. Given the health aspect, they should be more like good parents. They don't want their kids to have sex, but realize they will anyhow. They should be protecting them from STD's, or even unwanted pregnancy which leads to the other big no-no, abortion.
I completely agree. But just today, I read an article that pretty much explains why this happens at Catholic and other religious institutions.
"Compared to non-believers, the religious participants showed significantly less activity in the anterior cingulate cortex (ACC), a portion of the brain that helps modify behavior by signaling when attention and control are needed, usually as a result of some anxiety-producing event like making a mistake. The stronger their religious zeal and the more they believed in God, the less their ACC fired in response to their own errors, and the fewer errors they made."

It goes on… "'We found that religious people or even people who simply believe in the existence of God show significantly less brain activity in relation to their own errors.'"
