Wow, just wow!

I would be concerned about a family where an unopened condom showing-up unexpectedly could cause catastrophic emotional issues instead of a few basic questions.

It could create some 'trust issues'. I doubt anyone would have "catastrophic emotional issues".

Some things just don't sell without hyperbole.

You got that right...

While Schaffer declined to discuss any disciplinary actions involving students with the Coloradoan, citing student privacy laws, he said neither prank was sanctioned by the school but added that the condom prank "dramatically disrupted" the last 2 weeks of school.

Schaffer said school administration had to watch surveillance video, hold board meetings and have conferences with the parents of child victims.

and this kicker...

Schaffer said the school doesn't have specific policies banning condoms on campus, but the heinous activities that took place are wholly inconsistent with the purpose of the graduation ceremony.

Sorry- I would use the term "heinous" to describe the Bigelow family road rage shooting, not Sally Prudeville finding a condom package in her locker or binder.

And this gem...

After the prank, the girls said school administrators threatened to prevent any seniors from walking if no one came forward.

I know Bob Schaffer was a great congressman and the school sounds like a excellent institution, but the judgement is this case is lacking, seeming way more vindicative than retrospective.

Ah, so you're one of the ones whose own understanding of freedom vs liberty vs license vs vice has been rolled into one thing erroneously titled "freedom"?

You, sir, are a major part of the problem because you divest yourself of even the reality of the Founding Fathers, and, as it were, the philosophers and philosophy which led to the founding of America, and which Liberty Commons is trying to retain.

If you reject this, and cannot see how the principles in play are not of profound importance, then you might as well drive to DC and wipe your ass with the Constitution. Why? Because this tendency towards license-aping-liberty is exactly why this nation is utterly doomed.

Can you not have any understanding outside of your own position? Can you imagine the implications if a condom was found by a parent in the backpack of a muslim girl's backpack?

These types of pranks often have unintended consequences once the condoms were in the school and out of the hands of the pranksters. There's no telling what the recipients of them might then do with them. You didn't have to deal with that distraction (aka the drama in "dramatic") wrapping up the school year. You weren't there.

Wow!

I am part of the problem because I don't agree that a box of condoms showing up in a high school rises to the outrage level of "heinous".

Good grief.

You do realize that condoms can be freely purchased at you local convenience or grocery store and are not some sort of controlled access material coming from the dark web?

How can the parents of these "child victims" sleep at night knowing what evil lurks in the neighborhood Circle K?

One wonders what the response would be on here if the situation occurred at a SJW type charter school and the contraband was copies of "Guns and Ammo" slipped into lockers and binders.

7th grade isn't "High School".

You're totally numb to the realities of the situation. We get it.

Please explain the "heinous" realities of the situation?

I have kids in public school right now (8th and 5th), and am fully aware of the challenges faced to keep kids on a good path. However, that doesn't mean I support blatant overreactions to situations that could be addressed more appropriately, like making the students involved give an apology to the rest of the school and complete some "community" service time.
