NYC DoE gives students BC

Every now and again I come across a culture war story where it's a bit hard for me to intuit why people are actually upset in the first place.

Quote:

New York City’s Department of Education has been providing birth control (such as the long-lasting shot Depo-Provera), Plan B/emergency contraception, and “all pregnancy options” to thousands of high school students in grades 9-12, without parental consent or notification through the Connecting Adolescents To Comprehensive Health (CATCH) program.

I suppose some parents—having failed to pass on the virtue of celibacy—were hoping for the chance to have the chance to veto medical care which might well prevent STIs & pregnancy...?
