Schools need to supply our children with skateboard helmets, condoms, birth control pills, toothpaste, rubber bands, fiber tablets, and full body armor (to protect them from those crazy video game playing school shooters).
Good idea, but i'd much rather the school's money to go towards new things like books, chairs and desks. Also paying the teachers more is always good. I agree with that other guy though. It is up to the parents and police to worry about safety. How about this, a $40 for not wearing a helmet. A bit extreme but whatever makes anyone safe, eh?

You're right. So the police should give out cond...er, I mean skateboard helmets.
No. Skating isn't a "hush-hush" topic among most American families and isn't really scorned.

But still, it's the school's responsibility to worry about what dangerous activities kids are doing outside of school, right? I mean, just because someone might be able to get out of the house to actually go...skating...that doesn't necessarily mean they would be able to also go to the store and buy the proper gear.

They can. The only thing that would stop them is their parents permission...which parents easily give when it comes to skating, though not so much on...other things. Where society is pressuring parents to **** up and forget common sense, the school can offer protection. But skating is hardly something that is repressed.

You don't need a parental consent form to buy stuff at a drug store...
Tough question. I would say yes, since the uber-right wing says no, and I like to diametrically oppose them, so long as it does not put me on Michael Moore's side.

I had to have some when I was going to get some crack and coke
I see what you did there. Kids don't need skateboard helmets, but I still agree that giving out contraception out in schools is better than 16yo girls getting pregnant...
that would probably mean more taxes n junk. i say if you're old enough to skateboard, you're old enough to decide whether you want a helmet or not. if you want one, go buy one. i'm sure you could find one for $5.
Not everyone skateboards, it would just be an extra cost to the school for a responsability that isnt on their shoulders. Plus if they did that, theyd have to fork out more money for bike helmets etc, cant give to one and not the other ;)
